Colorado Resident Misses Powerball ® Jackpot by One Number!
A Lotto.com player in Colorado missed the Powerball® jackpot by one number! While this may sound unlucky, Lotto.com’s latest big winner still walked away with a $100,000 prize! The Colorado resident, who chose to remain anonymous, got their big win on the September 25th Powerball drawing with a $224 million jackpot.
The customer has been playing on Lotto.com for two years, and was taking time off of work when he ordered the winning ticket. He shared that he and his wife are frequent customers of Lotto.com, and enjoy playing Digital Scratch tickets specifically. This $100,000 win comes on the heels of a $3 million prize from a MONOPOLY™ 500X scratch ticket in Colorado last year.
“We are thrilled to see another win out of Colorado,” said Thomas Metzger, CEO of Lotto.com Inc. “It’s always great to see our loyal customers win big, and as we continue to grow Lotto.com nationwide, we look forward to welcoming new customers and celebrating more wins!”
