PROSSER MAN PLAYS SAME NUMBERS FOR ONE YEAR, WINS $2.8 MILLION

Playing the same Lottery numbers has paid off for a Prosser man who just hit the $2.8 million Lotto jackpot from the June 18 drawing.  The winner purchased his ticket the morning of the Saturday drawing from El Mercado (206 N Euclid Rd, Grandview, WA 98930).

“When I first learned I’d won, I told the store manager and then hopped in my car and drove straight to the Washington’s Lottery Yakima Regional Office to be sure,” said the winner. “Now I’ll need some new numbers!”

A vineyard worker in Prosser, the man told Lottery officials he plans to go to lunch to celebrate his win. The winner also has a large family and plans to share his winnings with his loved ones. Then, he plans to look into buying a new house.

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.
