Lottery fever is catching in Arizona; the Fourth of July brought a windfall of $335,939 to one lucky ticket holder in Phoenix, while a Glendale resident has a Fantasy 5 ticket worth $179,000 waiting to be claimed. The holiday jackpot was purchased at a Quick Stop near 24th Avenue and Thomas Road, which handed out the biggest prize ever for that particular game on a fortuitous Independence Day, as recent reports from 12 News and AZ Family describe a series of sizable wins across the state.
Meanwhile, the week saw another significant win: as the winner of the Fantasy 5 jackpot from a Chevron at 4250 W Union Hills Drive in Glendale has yet to come forward, with the officials reminding ticket holders to check their numbers again, there's a palpable buzz. And while the Fantasy 5 bonanza is still floating in limbo without a claimed owner, it is sure to make someone's holiday break even more memorable whenever they step forward to collect their winnings.
It's been a lucky streak for Arizonians, with a Powerball ticket also bringing fortune to its buyer another jackpot worth $50,000 from the July 6 drawing was sold at Skyline Liquor in Mesa, and a separate Home Run Riches player in Surprise took home $10,000 on July 3; the winnings all vary but share the spark of luck that seems to be prevalent in the air.
For those looking to check the recent winning numbers or dreaming of their turn at financial serendipity, the Arizona Lottery's website hosts the latest results, the anticipation makes checking numbers a mix of routine and hope for ticket holders across the state, as they possibly hold the chance to join the ranks of Arizona's newest lottery winners.
