A lottery player in Eastern Washington just turned a regular ticket into a $135,000 payday—and it all came down to five lucky numbers.
đź’° Big Win on April 8
On Wednesday, April 8, the player matched all five numbers in the Hit 5 drawing, landing the top prize. Not bad for a $1 ticket, right?
📍 Where the Winning Ticket Was Sold
The golden ticket was picked up at:
- Rosauers supermarket
- 5912 Highway 291, Nine Mile Falls
As a bonus, the store also scores $1,350 just for selling the winning ticket—nice little win for them too.
Nine Mile Falls sits just northwest of Spokane, roughly a couple of hours from the Tri-Cities area.
