Somebody in Colorado Springs just turned a routine grocery run into a multimillion-dollar payday. A single Colorado Lotto+ ticket worth $3,120,760 matched all six numbers in Wednesday night’s drawing and was sold at the Safeway on North Union Boulevard in north Colorado Springs. The winning numbers were 7-8-27-28-32-34, and the Plus numbers were 1-11-17-26-33-39. The winner has not come forward publicly and has 180 days from the draw date to claim the prize under Colorado rules.
Official draw results
The Colorado Lottery’s drawing history for March 25 lists those winning numbers and confirms a $3,120,760 jackpot with one winning ticket for that draw, according to Colorado Lottery. The same page also details the Plus numbers and the breakdown of all lower-tier prizes from that night.
Where the ticket was bought
Local coverage identified the lucky retailer as the Safeway at 8750 N. Union Blvd. in north Colorado Springs, as reported by 9News. The ticket-holder’s identity is still unknown. Under Colorado Lottery policy, once a prize is claimed, officials release the winner’s first name, last initial, and hometown.
How to claim and next steps
Whoever holds the ticket is urged to sign the back immediately, store it somewhere safe and then start the formal claims process with the state. The Lottery’s claiming page notes that prizes of $600 or more can be claimed online, by mail, or in person at one of four claims centers, and that winners have 180 days to claim, according to Colorado Lottery. Financial experts typically advise big winners to talk with an attorney and an accountant before making any major money moves, a point emphasized by CBS Colorado.
A string of recent Lotto+ jackpots
This latest win is part of a hot streak for Colorado Lotto+ players. In February, a $3.3 million ticket sold at a King Soopers in Broomfield turned a Broomfield grocery run into a multimillion-dollar score, as per Hoodline. Last November, a $3.2 million ticket was sold in Trinidad, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette. Those jackpots have helped keep Lotto+ in the mix for players across the Front Range and southern Colorado.
If you bought a Colorado Lotto+ ticket for Wednesday’s drawing, now is the time to pull it out and check it against the official winning numbers. If yours matches, sign it, secure it, and follow the state’s claim instructions. The Colorado Lottery will update its public winners pages once the ticket-holder comes forward and completes the paperwork.
