3 Colorado Powerball lottery players won millions in March
Three Coloradans became millionaires this month after winning big on Powerball lottery tickets bought in Denver, Loveland and Pueblo, according to a news release from Colorado Lottery.
One winner, identified as “Sean S.” in the release, played the same numbers used by his grandfather when the latter bought a Quick Pick ticket shortly before his death in 2018.
The numbers — 11-18-23-38-60 — netted Sean S. a $1 million prize on St. Patrick’s Day, which he learned of after receiving a notification on his phone.
He told Colorado Lottery that he plans to put most of the money toward retirement but may spend some on home improvements and a new car.
“A Corvette would be my favorite,” he said in the release. “But since I have two kids, maybe just a new Tahoe. It’s functional.”
Sean S. bought his ticket in Pueblo. A $2 million ticket was also sold in Denver, and a $100,000 ticket was sold in Longmont ahead of the March 19 Powerball drawing. The March 12 drawing also produced winners, including a $1 million ticket sold in Loveland and a $100,000 ticket sold in Rangely.
The Powerball jackpot had climbed to $444 million as of Saturday morning, with the next drawing scheduled for 8:59 p.m.

Pedestrian dies after walking into highway traffic in Northern Colorado, police say
Police in Northern Colorado are investigating after a crash involving multiple vehicles claimed the life of a pedestrian.
The Greeley Police Department received reports of a crash at the 5500 block of Highway 34 around 5:50 p.m. on Monday. When officers arrived, they discovered that two vehicles were involved in a crash with a 19-year-old woman who attempted to walk across the highway.
Police said there was no crosswalk in the area, and she was struck by the driver’s side of a Chevrolet Blazer. The impact knocked the woman into the inside lane, where she was struck by a Chevrolet Traverse. A witness told officers they saw the woman crossing the roadway ‘as traffic arrived at her location.’
First responders attempted life-saving measures on the woman at the scene before she was taken to North Colorado Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. GPD said the Weld County Coroner’s Office will release her identity at a later time.
Neither driver involved was injured in the crash. Police said they don’t expect charges to be filed against those drivers at the moment, but the case remains under investigation. The police department asked anyone with information on the crash to contact Officer Ed Kubala at Edward.Kubala@greeleypd.com.
