“I Love Arizona”

Rondus Bennett of Bouse, a transplant from New York, really enjoys playing the Arizona Lottery Scratchers – they remind her of her home town. Her most recent purchase was simply an impulse.  She’d gone to the store and had $5 left after shopping, so she asked the clerk what was available in $5 Scratchers.  He was just getting ready to open two new packs and held them up so she could see them.  She chose the one in his right hand – Arizona Black Limited. 

As it turned out, it was an excellent choice – a $50,000 excellent choice.  She always buys her tickets from the same store, Bouse General Store, 27646 Hwy. 72, Bouse.  She only bought the one ticket and took it home to scratch.  By the time she got around to scratching the ticket, the store was already closed, and she had to wait until the next day to have the clerk at the store validate it.  Needless to say, she didn’t get much sleep that night.  At 7:30 a.m. she was at the store, ticket in hand, and yes, the clerk told her it was indeed a winner.

The very next thing Rondus did was to drive to the Lottery office to redeem her ticket.  She was very excited about her win and was still finding it difficult to believe. After all, it always happens to someone else, not her.  She has no specific plans for her winnings except, she said, “I am going to enjoy it and consider it an unexpected gift.”

PHOENIX (Jan. 27, 2012) — A Tucson resident who wishes to remain anonymous has come forward to claim the $1 million second prize jackpot from the new $2 Powerball.

The $1 million winning $2 Powerball ticket was drawn last Saturday, January 21, and was sold at a Fry’s Food Store in Tucson, located at 555 E. Grant Rd. The winning numbers are 12 - 24 - 43 - 44 - 45 PB 7.

The winner was thrilled to learn that he was Arizona’s first million-dollar, second prize winner with the new $2 Powerball. Even though he was excited with the news, the winner said “health is more important than money.”

“It was great to learn that someone stepped forward to claim the second prize $2 Powerball jackpot and become Arizona’s newest millionaire,” said Karen Bach, assistant director of budget, products and communications for the Arizona Lottery. “This big win will dramatically impact the player’s life, and I can’t think of a better way for him to start 2012.”

The new $2 Powerball game offers many appealing features to players, including better overall odds and jackpots that grow bigger faster. The starting jackpot doubled from $20 million to $40 million and the second prize for matching all five numbers, without the Powerball, increased from $200,000 to $1 million.

PHOENIX (Jan. 24, 2012) — The Arizona Lottery recently announced its mid-year results with sales currently pacing a record-breaking 8.8% percent over fiscal year 2011.

As a result of the record year-to-date Lottery sales, the State of Arizona has received almost $65 million in net proceeds. The Lottery dollars were allocated to fund a wide variety of public projects and programs throughout Arizona that fall under four important pillars: education, health & public welfare, economic & business development, and the environment.

“We could not be more proud in being able to report these strong sales figures, especially during our 30th anniversary year,” said Jeff Hatch-Miller, executive director of the Arizona Lottery. “The Lottery’s tremendous success is a testament to staying focused on our business plan, which identifies products, marketing, and sales tools that result in revenue that directly impacts and improves the quality of life for Arizona residents.”

In addition to the Arizona Lottery’s sizable contribution to the State this year, over $183 million has been paid out to players in the form of prizes. Lottery retailers large and small throughout the state also have benefitted from the record Lottery sales, earning more than $19 million in commissions year-to-date, which many of them rely upon to support their businesses.

“We are confident that our strong sales trend will continue through the end of the year as we work aggressively toward meeting 2012 goals,” said Hatch-Miller. “Our focus is on introducing new, innovative products, building partnerships and using technology that attracts players and delivers sound results for Arizona Lottery beneficiaries throughout the state. We have built a strategic foundation through research and best practices to exceed industry standards and expect to report record-breaking end-of-year results as well.”
