Felton man wins first $300,000 MEGA BUCKS BLOWOUT top prize
Dover, DE — A 68-year-old man from Clayton has won the first $300,000 top prize playing MEGA BUCKS BLOWOUT. The winner, who chose to remain anonymous, purchased the winning ticket at Felton Goose Creek in Felton.
The winner, a dedicated Delaware Lottery player for 20 years, enjoys purchasing three tickets at a time. Upon scratching the ticket and realizing his win, his first reaction was joy. He immediately shared the exciting news with his friends.
The timing of this win was a big bonus since it will allow him to afford some medical procedures he’s been waiting to get. In addition, there will be enough left over to pay down bills, purchase a much-needed truck for work and put the rest into savings for a rainy day.
"We are thrilled to congratulate our latest $300,000 MEGA BUCKS BLOWOUT winner," said Helene Keeley, Director of the Delaware Lottery. "It's always rewarding to see our players experience such joy and to know that their winnings will significantly impact their lives."
