Colorado resident claims $3.12M Lotto+ jackpot in record win

A Colorado resident has claimed a $3.12 million jackpot from the state's Lotto+ draw. The win, announced on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, marks one of the largest prizes of the fiscal year. Lottery proceeds from such sales support local projects like parks, trails, and wildlife conservation.

The winning numbers for the March 25 draw were 7, 8, 27, 28, 32, and 34, with Plus numbers 1, 11, 17, 26, 33, and 39. The odds of matching all six main numbers stood at 1 in 3,838,380. This jackpot follows another significant win of $3.33 million on February 5, 2026.

The winner now faces a choice: collect the full amount in annual payments or take a reduced lump sum of $1.56 million. So far in 2026, no Colorado lottery jackpot—including Cash 5, Lotto Plus, or Mega Millions—has surpassed $3 million.

The latest jackpot adds to the state's lottery revenue, which funds outdoor and recreational initiatives. Colorado's Lotto+ continues to generate large prizes, though none have yet broken the $3 million barrier this year. The winner's decision on payment will determine their final take-home amount.
