TACOMA MAN READY TO TIE THE KNOT AFTER $250,000 SCRATCH WIN

Zachary Michael, a Tacoma resident, is ready to tie the knot after an unplanned Scratch purchase from 7-Eleven (3922 Portland Ave E, Tacoma, WA 98404) made him $250,000 richer.

Michael has big plans for his prize money, which includes purchasing a ring for his girlfriend and planning a wedding in Las Vegas. “I haven’t planned it all out yet, but we’ve been talking about getting married for a while and now we can finally make those dreams a reality.”

Michael also told Washington’s Lottery officials he plans to cross some items off his bucket list, but isn’t quite sure which ones he’ll tackle first. He shared that he simply plans to spend the next few days relaxing and soaking up the reality of his win.

Proceeds from Washington’s Lottery benefit the Washington Opportunity Pathways Account, providing grants to college students statewide. To learn more about Washington’s Lottery, its beneficiaries and to review all up-to-date winning numbers, please visit www.walottery.com.
