- A 68-year-old retiree from Colorado struck it big when he won a whopping $3.8 million lottery jackpot.

It’s a fantasy many of us entertain: what would we buy if we suddenly became millionaires? For one self-proclaimed “old hippie” from Colorado, that dream has become a reality.
His top priority with his newfound wealth? A brand new vacuum cleaner.
The 68-year-old winner, known only as Bill S., described his win of the $3.8 million Colorado Lotto+ jackpot as “beyond belief,” as stated in the lottery’s press release.
Bill, who faithfully played the lottery every week for ten years, opted for the cash payout and walked away with a sum of $1,948,019, after taxes and other deductions, out of his $3,896,039 prize, as mentioned in the press release.
The fortunate winner shared that he doesn’t have extravagant spending plans for his newfound wealth.
Instead, he plans to purchase 100 gift cards for the employees of his local City Market grocery store, where he bought the winning ticket, simply because they have always been kind to him.
Additionally, Bill expressed his desire to fulfill his old hobbies of paragliding and horseback riding, activities he had to give up when he retired and started living on a fixed budget.
Prior to retiring, Bill had worked as a trauma nurse in New York City for three decades. Following the passing of his parents, he decided to move to Colorado due to the fond memories he had of skiing on the state’s mountains in the 1970s.
