Lucky lottery player in Casa Grande wins $250K for next 20 years

CASA GRANDE, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -- One lucky lottery player will be getting a pretty nice payout for the next two decades! A winner who bought the $50 ticket in Casa Grande won the top prize of $5 million in the Set for Life Scratchers game. But instead of choosing a big payout, the person opted for the annuity prize, receiving $250,000 a year for the next 20 years!

“Winning this $50 Scratchers game offers this player boundless opportunity, and really fires up our players’ imaginations regarding what a ‘Set For Life’ win would mean for them. I can’t wait to see what our next top prize winner chooses!” Arizona Lottery executive director Alec Esteban Thomson said in a statement.

The winning ticket was sold at a Fry’s Food Store on Pinal Avenue and claimed on May 30. Five top-prize tickets are still available, and you could be the next winner. Players can purchase any Set for Life tickets at certain locations. For more information, visit ArizonaLottery.com/SetForLife.
