Seaford man claims final $300,000 prize for MORE SERIOUS MONEY

Dover, DE — A 77-year-old retired man from Seaford has claimed the final $300,000 top prize for the $30 price point Instant Game MORE SERIOUS MONEY. The man, who wished to remain anonymous, purchased the winning ticket from Bridgeville Discount Liquors in Bridgeville.

As a Delaware native, the man said he has been playing the Delaware Lottery since 2002. He usually purchases three tickets at a time but on this particular visit he purchased six tickets. Much to his surprise, one of those six tickets made him $300,000 richer before taxes.

“It’s always great to see our players win large cash prizes,” said Helene Keeley, Director of the Delaware Lottery. “Congratulations to this lucky longtime player on his exciting win!”

While this may be the final top prize for MORE SERIOUS MONEY, there are still many ways to win big with Delaware Lottery Instant Games. $30 NOTHING BUT CASH! still has three top prizes of $300,000 remaining. $20 CASH BONANAZA has two top prizes of $150,000 while CASH PARTY and $100 GRAND BLOWOUT have top prizes of $100,000 available.
