Suquamish man wins lottery from Fred Meyer scratch off ticket
This story was originally posted on MyNorthwest.com
A Suquamish man received a large payday after purchasing a lottery ticket from a local grocery store.
Marv C. won $50,000 from a scratch-off lottery ticket at a Fred Meyer in Bremerton, one of Marv's 'go-to spots' for buying lottery tickets, according to Washington's Lottery (WL).
The Suquamish resident purchased two Lucky Stars Scratch tickets at the Bremerton Fred Meyer and scratched his lottery tickets during his bus ride to a nearby coffee shop.
The first lottery ticket the man scratched was not a winner, although Washington's Lottery said the second ticket revealed a $50,000 win.
Marv went into the coffee shop and told the owner about his win, then picked up his eyeglasses at the optometrist, where he shared the news again, according to WL. One of the workers in the office said, 'I didn't know someone could actually win $50,000.'
Marv's prize was the highest payout for the Lucky Stars game.
The man plans to use his winnings to buy a mobile home and use the leftover money to add to his savings, WL wrote.

Biggest ever UK lottery prize still up for grabs after no EuroMillions winner
The biggest lottery prize the UK has ever seen is still up for grabs after Friday's EuroMillions draw had no winners. The jackpot on Tuesday will be an estimated £208 million and would be the largest prize the UK has seen, National Lottery operator Allwyn said. Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, said: 'Tuesday sees the £208 million EuroMillions jackpot still up for grabs. 'A win of this magnitude would create the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen – making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and Harry Kane while also landing them at the number one spot on the National Lottery's biggest wins list. 'The EuroMillions jackpot is now capped, so any money that would have gone into increasing the jackpot now boosts prizes in the next winning prize tier, meaning that we could see multiple UK players banking huge prizes for matching just the five main numbers and one Lucky Star.' The main EuroMillions winning numbers were 20, 21, 29, 30, 35 and the Lucky Stars were 02, 12. One UK ticket-holder became a millionaire after matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, winning £2.02 million. No players won the £500,000 Thunderball jackpot by matching the five Thunderball numbers, 03, 14, 31, 32, 34, and the Thunderball number 06.

EuroMillions winning numbers revealed for UK's biggest ever jackpot in £208m draw
The winning numbers in tonight's EuroMillions have been revealed in the draw for the UK's biggest ever lottery jackpot. A jackpot of around £208m is up for grabs in Friday's draw if a single ticket-holder manages to choose the winning numbers. The winning numbers are: 20, 21, 29, 30, 35, while the Lucky Stars are 2 and 12. The National Lottery will soon announce whether any winning tickets have been sold, or whether the jackpot will roll over once again. Tuesday's draw of £199m would also have been a record-breaking jackpot, but no one held a winning ticket. 'We are now on the verge of potentially creating the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen – making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Adele and Dua Lipa while also landing them at the number one spot on The National Lottery's biggest wins list,' said Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn. An anonymous UK ticket-holder won the existing record jackpot of £195m on July 19 2022. Just two months earlier Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, won £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw on May 10 2022. The UK's third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177m jackpot in the draw on 26 November last year, while the biggest this year was £83m in January. More follows...
