A Milliken man who purchased a million-dollar letter ticket had his winnings doubled to $2 million, thanks to recent Mega Millions rule changes.
Leopoldo R. of Milliken, who bought a Colorado Mega Millions lottery ticket in June at a Johnstown 7-11 at 6150 E. U.S. Highway 34, said he was in shock when he checked his ticket and found he had won $2 million, according to the Colorado Lottery.
His ticket was originally worth $1 million, but with new Mega Millions rules, it bumped it up to $2 million, because his ticket had a 2X multiplier. Multipliers go up to 10X.
Leopoldo said he used the quick pick feature, which randomly chose the numbers on his ticket.
According to the Colorado Lottery, Leopoldo’s ticket was one of the largest amounts won in the state. Lottery officials said Colorado has only seen three $4 million, two $2 million and five $1 million winners before his win.
