A person in Parachute Colorado has won $1 million in Colorado’s PowerBall state-run lottery, on a ticket purchased at the Thunder River Market – the second time this month that a person has won $1 million.
On July 8, somebody southeast of metro Denver in Elizabeth won $1 million from a ticket purchased at Murphy Express, a gas station.
Neither of the prizes has been claimed, PowerBall spokeswoman Meghan Dougherty said Monday morning. After 180 days, unclaimed prize money is transferred into PowerBall proceeds for the state – which has happened before, Dougherty said.
In the latest drawing, two people also won $100,000 on tickets purchased in Littleton and Arvada, and one person won $50,000 on a ticket purchased in Trinidad, she said.
In 2017, a PowerBall player in Clifton won $133.2 million — the record. In 2014, a person in Rifle won $90 million.
Nobody won jackpot prizes in the recent drawings. The estimated PowerBall jackpot is $900 million, along with an estimated Mega Millions jackpot of $640 million.
State PowerBall revenues help fund Great Outdoors Colorado, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Conservation Trust Fund, and Building Excellent Schools Today. This year, lottery officials calculate that the lottery will generate $75.7 million in funds.
