Seaford Woman Wins $150,000
In the Delaware Lottery's “Big Money” Instant Game
(Dover, DE)— A
56-year-old woman from Seaford, Delaware, achieved her biggest lottery
win to date—$150,000 in the Delaware Lottery’s “Big Money” Instant
Game. She bought the winning ticket from Delux Dairy Market in Seaford.
The
winner, who wished to remain anonymous, recalled her reaction upon
scratching off the ticket in the store. “I was shaking like a leaf—I
was in complete shock that I won,” she said. “Once I realized that I
actually won, I called my family to let them know.”
The
woman, who has worked for the state for 35 years, redeemed the winning
ticket on August 18 at Lottery headquarters, filling the lobby with her
family. Still in shock from her win, she told Lottery Officials that
she plans to put the money towards retirement.
She
described her winning as a blessing, coming at a time in her life when
she needed it most. “Not many of us get chances like this,” she
explained. “I am truly grateful to have won.”
