A man from Adel wins $10,000 in ‘Colossal Crossword’ scratch game
The Dallas County man named Zachary Miller who won a $10,000 lottery prize said the feeling of disbelief was hard to shake.
"It’s almost unbelievable,” Zachary Miller told officials on Friday, May 6 as he claimed his prize at lottery headquarters in Clive. “You scratch it off and you’re like, ‘Oh, I probably won $100, or $1,000.’ And then you take your phone out and you scan it and it says $10,000? Insane.”
Miller, 36, of Adel, bought his winning “Colossal Crossword” ticket at Kum & Go, 600 W. Hickman Road in Waukee, where he stopped to redeem a $50 prize he won on a different scratch ticket.
The ticket distributor will get $1000 for selling the winning Scratch-Off ticket.
Instead of pocketing the money from that ticket, he decided to use some of his winnings to buy a ticket in the $30 scratch game.
