A Colorado man is $3 million richer this week after winning the Colorado Lotto+ jackpot on Saturday.
A winning Colorado Lotto+ ticket worth $3,099,213 was sold at Winner’s Corner — a board game and lottery shop at 310 North Main Street in Pueblo — to an 83-year-old Jerold C., according to lottery officials.
The nearly $3.1 million jackpot has a cash value of just over $1.5 million, lottery officials said. The odds of winning the jackpot were one in 3.84 million.
The 83-year-old man is the third player in the country — and the first in Colorado — to win at least $1 million playing the lottery on Jackpocket in the past 10 days, according to app officials.
Only 54 lottery players have ever won $1 million or more on various lotteries in the Jackpocket app, app officials said in a news release.
