Yakima Resident Scores a $75,000 Lottery Win from Washington’s Lottery
A Yakima man has won a big payoff in Washington's Lottery. Do you know him?
Where the Winning Ticket Was Sold 🎉
The winning lottery ticket was purchased at the Roadrunner Deli-Mart (1419 S 3rd Avenue). This isn't the first time someone has won the lottery from a corner store, so it must be good luck to buy a lottery ticket there!
Myron Felt Extra Lucky That Day 🍀
Myron Cloud normally buys lottery tickets at this location. He bought four random $5 scratch-off tickets and told the lottery office staff that he had felt really lucky that day. (You know, I always feel lucky whenever I buy a lottery ticket, but somehow, I only manage to win a couple of dollars! Eventually stopped buying them, ha!)
One of the four random Lottery tickets Myron bought was a Wild 10s scratch ticket. It gives you an extra game to play on the back of the ticket, and that's how Myron won $75,000 that day.
Myron couldn't believe his winning ticket was real. He bought the ticket last week, so he had to wait to claim his prize after the regional office in Tri-Cities reopened after Thanksgiving break.
I felt like I was having heart failure all weekend,” said Myron. “Not really, but I couldn’t wait to get to the Lottery office and make sure it was real.” - Myron Cloud, courtesy Washington's Lottery
Myron Cloud says he's going to help buy a car for his daughter with some of the money he won, and he's going to buy himself a new car, too.
When Myron scratched off the final play area to reveal that he’d matched his number to the winning number and then saw the prize amount below it, he realized he’d won the game’s top prize of $75,000. “I said to myself, well, you don’t see that every day.” - Washington's Lottery
