Big news for Olympia! A lucky player just hit the $420,000 jackpot in Washington's Hit 5 lottery. The winning ticket was bought at Food Mart, 3200 Pacific Ave. SE, earning the store a cool $4,200 bonus for selling the jackpot winner, according to a Washington Lottery spokesperson.
The winning numbers matched all five drawn on Monday, Oct. 13, making one local player instantly $420K richer. Hit 5 is a simple but exciting game: each ticket costs just $1, and players choose five numbers between 1 and 42—or use Quick Pick to let the computer pick for them.
The cashpot starts at $100,000 and rolls over until someone wins. While the odds of hitting the big prize are 1 in 851,000, smaller prizes are more common, ranging from a free ticket up to $150.
If you missed out this time, don’t worry—the next Hit 5 drawing is Tuesday, Oct. 14, at 8 p.m. Who knows? You could be the next big winner.
Remember, lottery games and other chances at winning can be fun for many—but they can also be risky. For some, gambling becomes an addiction that can seriously affect lives and families. Play responsibly!
