Local Lottery Luck: TWO $1M Lottery Wins in Washington

I used to buy lottery tickets all the time but after spending all that money and only coming up with $49 for my total collective wins left a sour taste in my mouth.

At least I know that the money I'm spending on those tickets is going to good use.

 

WHAT DOES WASHINGTON USE LOTTERY MONEY FOR?

There are many benefits to other people spending up their money on lottery tickets here in Washington. Some of the proceeds pay for the Problem Gambling Hotline, college grants and scholarships, and vocational programs for Washington residents.

The Washington State Powerball is played on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, and the drawing is at 7:59 p.m. each of those days.

FUN FACT: The Powerball drawing cut-off time is at 6:45 p.m. on game days.

Check your ticket for these numbers: 04, 30, 39, 44, 60 (11 is the Powerball Number)

The other person purchased a million-dollar winning ticket in Brewster back in September (9/10/24). They have until March 9th next year to claim their winning prize.

These are the winning numbers for that one: 01, 02, 16, 24, 66, (06 is the Powerball Number).
