Retired Postal Service worker pays off Christmas gifts with winnings
Victor W. of Arvada won $1,000 on his $1,000,000 Gold Rush Scratch ticket! Victor purchased his $20 winning ticket at Rocket on Ward Road in Arvada. He says he’s played the Lottery “since the beginning” and “checked it 100 times” when he scratched off his winner. Victor is a retired U.S. Postal Service worker and will use his winnings to pay off Christmas gifts for his three kids and six grandkids. Congratulations, Victor!
