New Castle man wins $50,000 playing Delaware Lottery. See where he bought his ticket
A Delaware man recently came away a big winner after playing the Delaware Lottery.
A 52-year-old New Castle man, who chose to remain anonymous, won a total of $50,000 playing Delaware Lottery's PLAY 5, according to lottery officials.
The winning numbers drawn on May 27 matched the numbers he chose himself using his late father's birthday, officials said. He purchased the ticket at the Shell on 3001 New Castle Ave. near New Castle. The man claimed his prize that day.
According to lottery officials, the winner said he discovered days earlier a serious leak in his roof and didn't have the funds to fix it. After praying for two days, he felt compelled to buy his routine PLAY 5 ticket, but this time he won big.
'Stories like this are a reminder of how meaningful a win can be,' said Helene Keeley, Delaware Lottery director. 'We're thrilled that this prize came at such an important time and that it will help make a real difference in his life.'
The winning numbers from the May 27 PLAY 5 drawing were 4-1-3-4-2.
PLAY 5 drawings are held seven days a week. Day drawings are at 1:58 p.m. and play up to 1:40 p.m. Night drawings are at 7:57 p.m. and play up to 7:30 p.m. To find a Delaware Lottery retailer near you, visit delottery.com/Where-To-Buy.
