Ann Larson, a woman from Enumclaw, Washington, which is about 30 minutes east of Tacoma, is on a major lucky streak.
In December of 2010, Ann and her husband, Toby, won $36,000 at a casino. Most people would be ecstatic over such a win at the casino, but that was just the start of her lucky streak. Since then, they won two Keno prizes worth $2500 each. Not bad at all!
Then, in April of 2011, Ann Larson's lucky streak culminated with a $170,000 jackpot win in Washington Lottery's Hit 5 game. That's $211,000 worth of winnings in less than a year! What do you think is next for Ann? I'm thinking a big Powerball win!
Hit 5 is a game from Washington State Lottery. It costs $1 to play and has jackpots that start at $100,000. The jackpots continue to grow if they are not won. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1-in-576,000. Washington Lottery calls this jackpot a "cashpot." Cashpot, that's a pretty cool word!
Ann Larson said that she planned to use her cashpot winnings to fix up their 40-year-old house. "We need new carpet, new paint on the walls, and a new garage door that actually goes up and down."
