Wilmington man wins $300,000 PAYOUT top prize

Dover, DE — A 60-year-old man from Wilmington has claimed the latest $300,000 prize from the $300,000 PAYOUT Instant Game. The winner, who wished to remain anonymous, purchased the winning ticket at Tobacco Field II in New Castle. He started playing the Delaware Lottery a few years ago and likes to play the $30 tickets, usually picking up a couple at a time. While he always had a gut feeling that he would win big one day, he was still shocked when it actually happened.

"We are very excited for this winner and happy to celebrate another big prize in our community," said Helene Keeley, Director of the Delaware Lottery. “It’s truly a pleasure to share in the excitement of our winners as they walk through our doors to collect their prizes and reveal their plans for the future.”

Two top prizes remain for $30 Instant Game $300,000 PAYOUT while our $20 Instant Games CASHNADO and $100K still have top prizes of $150,000 and $100,000 available. To find a Delaware Lottery retailer near you, please visit: Where To Buy | Delaware Lottery.
