Delaware Powerball lotto results
Dover, Delaware : A group of five friends who enjoy playing the Delaware Lottery struck it big on a POWERBALL drawing. One member of the group recently stepped forward to clam a $10,000 prize, and said the group was thrilled with the news. Originally from South Carolina, the Delaware lotto winner said that she was stunned to discover the good news. As she perused the morning paper she checked the Lottery section as always, but this time the numbers on her ticket and the numbers in print were an almost perfect match.
After finding out that we’d won, I called my friend and the other four members of our group right away to tell them the good news, she said. “They were all in a great state of shock that we had won. The group has been consistently playing the Delaware Lottery for about three years, and usually purchases about three to five tickets a week. We have won prizes of $100 a couple times, along with other smaller amount prizes, but this was our first big win, added the group representative. “We play different Lottery games, like MULTI-WIN LOTTO and HOT LOTTO®, but POWERBALL® is the group favorite, and this win sure hasn’t changed that. The winning Delaware lotto ticket was purchased at the Food Lion in Millville, located at 215 Atlantic Ave.
Delaware Lotto Raffle wins and Hot Lotto game debut thaw J chill Dover, DE -- The Delaware Lottery helped many players cure their holiday blues this January by handing out some hefty helpings of cash. The DELAWARE RAFFLE kicked things off over New Year’s by awarding $250,000 to a Middletown man, along with five $25,000 prizes. A trio of POWERBALL players celebrated the calendar change in style by claiming combined winnings of $100,000, while a ticket worth $10,000 has yet to be claimed. The Delaware Lottery also paid several Instant Game top-prizes and introduced HOT LOTTO® to take the chill out of winter’s coldest month.
December and January were excellent months to play the Delaware Lottery, said Wayne Lemons, Delaware Lottery Director. “The DELAWARE RAFFLE rewarded players with its prize payouts, POWERBALL® was popular as always, and lottery gamers are already flocking to the new HOT LOTTO® offering. During the month of January, POWERBALL® drawings yielded 54,508 winners. There were also 227,989 instant game winners last month. An anonymous winner who purchased just one ticket took home the RAFFLE’s quarter-million-dollar top prize (minus Federal withholding taxes), while five separate $25,000 first prizes were won by two friends from Wilmington and Rising Sun, eight New Castle county coworkers, a 42-year-old Elkton, Md., man, a Newark woman who only plays the RAFFLE, and one anonymous winner. The Delaware Lottery also introduced HOT LOTTO® in January. A Lotto-style game with guaranteed estimated annuity jackpots of at least $1 million, ticket sales for the $1 game began Jan. 28 around the First State, and the first drawing was held Jan. 30.
Dover, DE The Delaware Lottery today introduced HOT LOTTO , a new Lotto-style game with guaranteed estimated annuity jackpots of at least $1 million. Already popular in 12 states and the District of Columbia, tickets sales for the $1 game begin today across the First State, and the first drawing will be held Jan. 30. The estimated annuity jackpot for the Jan. 30 drawing is $4.7 million.
While similar to Powerball and Multi-Win Lotto, HOT LOTTO players select five white ball numbers from 1 to 39 and one orange Hot Ball number from 1 to 19. A $1 Sizzler option (like the Powerball Power Play) gives gamers a chance to automatically triple lower-tier prizes. "Delaware, like many smaller states, has a demand for a Lotto game on par with the jackpots offered by larger state lotteries," said Wayne Lemons, Delaware Lottery Director. "We've heard the call for a game with larger top-prizes than Multi-Win Lotto and better odds than Powerball . HOT LOTTO fills this niche and offers players a better shot to take home estimated annuity prizes in the $1 million to $20 million range." Odds of winning the HOT LOTTO jackpot are one in nearly 11 million, while the odds of winning the top Powerball prize are one in 146 million. Drawings for the multi-state game are held twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday nights. Players can purchase a multi-draw ticket for up to 10 draws at a time. Jackpots begin at an estimated annuity of $1 million and increase by at least $50,000 per drawing until a winning number is drawn. To win the jackpot, players must match all five numbers and the Hot Ball. Matching five numbers but not the Hot Ball wins $10,000 and matching four numbers and the Hot Ball wins $500. Any time a player matches the Hot Ball they win $2 with other prizes ranging between $3 and $50. Player instructions and overall odds are available at www.delottery.com. The jackpot prize can be paid out either as a 24 year, 25-payment annuity, or as a single lump sum in cash. The two biggest jackpots for HOT LOTTO were both in 2007, one worth $19.9 million in January and another worth $12.9 million in July.
The man says he has no immediate plans for the money but looks forward to some more comfortable living conditions. I’ve always wanted six months living expenses in the bank and now I’ve got it. It’s a great feeling. The Oct. 8 winner is an avid player who’s drawn to large prizes, but says he doesn’t usually plunk down $70 dollars for lottery tickets like he did that Friday. That’s the most I’ve ever bought at once, he recalls.
Although he generally relies on the Quick Pick feature, the out of state resident had some outside assistance choosing the exact six-digit combination. I went to an online site that generates random sets of numbers and I copied a bunch of them down – maybe 20. It’s something I’ve done before and, obviously, plan to keep doing. The 51-year-old discovered he’d won by checking the Delaware Lottery’s online site (www.delottery.com) while working from home. The page is automatically updated to put the latest winning numbers at patrons’ fingertips.
I didn’t think I had the numbers right at first, he remembers. I checked three times. Then I started yelling and my kids came running downstairs, but they didn’t believe me, so then they checked the numbers. The first thing my kids said to me was ‘Now we can get an Xbox!’ Besides the popular video game platform, the winner says he will use the cash to help finance an upcoming move to Florida.
