Robert Casillas doesn’t check his tickets right away; in fact, he usually waits until he has a stack of about 30 or 40 before he goes to a store to have them scanned. His winning Quick Pick ticket from The Pick drawing on March 15 was no exception. He didn’t check it until Saturday, July 1. This winning jackpot ticket was just one of over 30 tickets Robert took to the store to be scanned. The clerk returned the ticket to him with a slip explaining that the store couldn’t cash it because it was more money than they were allowed to pay out and that he would have to go to the Arizona Lottery office. No one knew the amount, but his wife, Carmen knew that the store could only cash tickets for around $500, so she thought it was probably worth about $600.
When they got home, Robert immediately went online to the Arizona Lottery website and checked the numbers on his ticket and was convinced it was a jackpot and it was for real. However, his wife, Carmen, didn’t really believe it was a jackpot as most of their previous wins had ranged from $2 to $50, and told him Don’t get your hopes up. Robert and Carmen came to the Arizona Lottery office turned in their ticket. They were greeted by everyone at the Claims Window with, We’ve been wondering where you were. The lucky couple elected to take the cash option with a cash value of $1,579,384.70 before taxes. Once the reality of their win sunk in, they were both in a state of shock. The Casillas’ have four children three of them are full-time college students, as well as holding down full-time jobs and the oldest is working full-time. As of the time of this interview, Robert and Carmen had not yet had time to tell them the exciting news. Robert is a retired land surveyor and Carmen works as an electrical technician at a manufacturing plant. They both enjoy spending time with their family, especially their grandson. When asked what plans they have for their winnings, they both said, We plan to invest it for ourselves and our family’s future.’ The Arizona Lottery wishes the Casillas family good health and continued good fortune.
All for One and One for All: 10 members of a pool of 11 friends came to the Arizona Lottery office to claim their winnings. They arrived with pomp and circumstance in a chauffer-driven black limousine. When the group was asked, Why the limo? they replied, We always wanted to ride in one. In addition, from the sound of their excitement, it obviously was easier and much more fun to come to the Arizona Powerball Lotto together This group of 11 winners has been friends for more than 15 years, but has only been playing the Lottery as a pool for a year and a half. They each put in $5 per Powerball draw. Susie Brewer, the leader of the gang, purchased 55 tickets. Sometime after 11 p.m. Saturday, she called the Arizona Lottery Hotline, heard the numbers, but thought it was a mistake. She had a couple of other friends check, but no one really believed it. On Sunday morning, after rechecking the numbers several times, at 5 a.m., Susie began making calls to everyone in the group. Most of them were half-asleep they either woke up right away or went back to sleep and then woke up later thinking they had dreamt the whole thing. Once the entire group knew they had purchased a winning ticket, everyone in their immediate world knew: friends, family, and the entire Moose Lodge.
Each Arizona Lotto pool member has a different idea as to how to use the winnings. For example, Eric Henshaw may take a trip to Virginia for a Marine Corps Reunion; Mary and Bud Goetz plan to pay off their car; Richard Flamini plans to just enjoy it; Paul Zehringer is going to put his winnings into his IRA. Although they are a group of friends who enjoy having a good time, they are also extremely community oriented. Through their Moose Lodge, they deliver food baskets during the Thanksgiving holiday to families who need help, raise funds for science projects for Stevenson School, and contribute to Toys for Tots.. This delightful pool of Arizona Lotto winners planned to make sure the clerk who sold them the ticket was not forgotten by presenting her with a tip.
Purchased Quick Pick ticket at Fry’s, 39508 N. Daisy Mountain Dr., Anthem, AZ 85086. Theo was surprised when she came to the Lottery and found out she’d won $10,000. I thought I’d won $1,000!

Eleven members of the Moose Lodge in Phoenix, Arizona are richer today after redeeming a ticket worth $200,000 from the Wednesday, January 16 Arizona Powerball drawing. Members of the East Mesa Moose Lodge #2082 purchased their winning ticket at the Circle K located in Mesa. We traditionally see office pool winners, so to have a civic group win is quite unique , said Art Macias, executive director for the Arizona Lottery.
Waiting until after the holidays to redeem their tickets, the two winners of the Millionaire Raffle jackpots came to the Arizona Lottery Phoenix office within one day of each other. Marie Morocco of Scottsdale claimed her $1,000,000 prize Jan. 2, 2008, and Martha (Denise) Turberville of Phoenix claimed her $1,000,000 prize Jan. 3, 2008. After taxes, each received a check for $700,000. Marie stopped at a convenience store, happened to see the signs promoting the raffle, and made a what the heck purchase of two tickets. While watching the news on ABC15, Marie saw the winning numbers, looked at her tickets, and thought she was reading the numbers wrong. She kept using the TV remote’s pause button to compare the numbers on TV and on her tickets. Finally, she began to realize that she was one of the two $1,000,000 winners. Marie will invest most of her winnings. However, she may consider a little bit of special shopping for herself. Working as an accountant keeps her busy, but when she does have spare time, she enjoys spending it with her family.
Our other jackpot winner, Martha (Denise) Turberville of Phoenix, saw the ad for the raffle while watching television. The next day, she went to a store to get information. She did not purchase a ticket at that time, as she wanted to think about it. Then, a few days later while shopping at a local Fry’s, she decided to purchase a ticket. At 3:30 a.m. Dec. 31, 2007, Denise went to the Millionaire Raffle website and entered her ticket number. When she saw the message, Congratulations, you are a winner. Please go to the Arizona Lottery office, she thought she had been bumped to another site and that it was an error. I was shocked…kept wandering around the house in disbelief! Denise, who is an engineer, plans to use her winnings to help her parents, may splurge on the purchase of a new car, and plans to invest the rest.
I want to congratulate the 2 one million dollar winners of the Arizona Lottery’s first Millionaire Raffle, said Art Macias, Executive Director of the Arizona Lottery.

Claiming Your lotto Prize Arizona lottoInformation Q: Can you tell me at what store an unclaimed prize ticket was purchased? A: No. Until a prize is claimed, we do not release the name of the store where the ticket was sold. The location is part of the criteria we use for ticket validation. Q: What is the difference between cash and annuity? A: The cash value is approximately one-half the advertised value of the jackpot and is given to the winner in one lump sum. The winner who selects the annuity is paid in equal payments annually for 30 years for Powerball or for 25 years for The Pick. The person who wins the jackpot has the option to choose either the cash or annuity option. The winner has 60 days from the claim date (the date the ticket is presented for validation) in which to make the decision. If the winner chooses cash, the Lottery will issue a check when the ticket is validated. In order to secure the payment process, the Lottery purchases annuities from private companies. Each year, the Lottery prepares and issues a Request for Proposals to solicit the interest of various insurance companies. Companies that qualify through the evaluation process are asked to bid on the annuity payment after each winning jackpot. The company submitting the highest payment offer is selected and will issue the remaining annuity checks. The Arizona Lottery is frequently asked whether players should choose cash or annuity. We can only suggest that financial issues be discussed with a lawyer, CPA, or financial planner. Q: If I win the Arizona Lotto jackpot, do I have the option of remaining anonymous? A: No. The Arizona Lottery is required to release, upon request, the winner’s name, city of residence, game, and amount won. A press release will be sent out to the media when a winner has collected the prize. However, Arizona Lottery jackpot winners are given the option of participating in or declining a press conference and/or publicity. We believe a press conference enhances the winning experience, and it usually eliminates receiving multiple calls from the media. Tax Information
