Millsboro man wins $150K playing $150,000 BLAST

Dover, DE — A 57-year-old man from Millsboro, has claimed the latest $150,000 top prize for the Instant Game $150,000 BLAST. The man purchased the winning ticket while visiting Food Lion #875 on DuPont Blvd in Millsboro.

The man said he has been playing the Delaware Lottery off and on for many years. He enjoys the chance to win with Instant Games and usually purchases two tickets at a time. “When I scratched the ticket and saw I won, I was so happy,” the man said. “I had never won a prize this big before.” He shared the news with his wife right away.

“It’s always great to see our players take home substantial cash prizes,” said Helene Keeley, Director of the Delaware Lottery. “Congratulations to this lucky player on his $150,000 win.”

When asked what he was planning to do with his winnings, the man said he plans to put the money towards paying his bills.

While this may the final top prize for $150,000 BLAST, there are still plenty of chances to win with $20 price point Instant Games. CASH BONANZA has two top prizes of $150,000 still up for grabs while $100K GRAND BLOWOUT and WIN $100K both have $100,000 top prizes remaining.
