Colorado Springs residents have reason to celebrate after a Powerball ticket worth $500,000 was sold at the Kum & GO Maverik located at 304 Main Street. The winning ticket was one of the top prizes awarded in Saturday night’s draw, which is part of an ongoing Powerball jackpot run that has captured national attention.

In addition to the half-million-dollar win in Colorado Springs, another lucky ticket worth $50,000 was sold at Northglenn Discount Liquor, further highlighting Colorado’s streak of lottery success. Both tickets were part of a drawing tied to a jackpot that has now soared to an estimated $1.1 billion, making it one of the largest in Powerball history.

According to the Colorado Lottery, these recent wins are part of a broader trend of strong performances by players across the state. Since the current jackpot run began on September 7, a total of 16 Colorado players have claimed significant prizes, collectively winning more than $2.8 million.

The $500,000 prize was achieved through the Powerball’s Double Play add-on, which gives players a second chance at winning with the same numbers in an additional drawing. The Double Play feature has increasingly become a popular option for players seeking extra opportunities to cash in on their ticket purchases.

The Colorado Lottery highlighted the recent windfall as evidence of the growing excitement surrounding the Powerball game, which has generated a surge in participation as the jackpot continues to climb.

As of now, no one has claimed the $500,000 prize in Colorado Springs. Lottery officials encourage all players who purchased tickets at the Kum & GO Maverik to check their numbers and come forward to claim their winnings. The Colorado Lottery reminds winners to sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place until they are ready to claim their prize.

The Powerball jackpot remains unclaimed, and the next drawing is expected to draw even more attention as players across the country hope to strike it lucky.
