Lots of lucky Colorado jackpot players this week
The third largest Powerball jackpot ever was hit this week but the Mega Millions jackpot continues to roll! The Mega Millions jackpot has climbed to an estimated $720 million ($370.5 million cash value) for the next drawing on Friday, July 21, 2023.
The Powerball jackpot had been climbing ever higher alongside Mega Millions, until a lottery player in California won the Powerball jackpot worth more than $1 billion on the July 19 drawing. While we may not have won the big jackpot, several lucky Colorado players still won big in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing:
- $50,000 winner sold at King Soopers Fuel Center in Erie
- $50,000 winner sold at Loaf N Jug in Golden
- $50,000 winner sold at Circle K in Highlands Ranch

- $100,000 winner sold at 7-Eleven in Denver
- $100,000 winner sold at King Soopers in Castle Rock
- $100,000 winner sold at Loaf N Jug in Colorado Springs
Colorado also had two lucky Mega Millions winners for the July 18 drawing:
