Six Ultimate Dash Shopping Spree winners prepare to dash!
Christine S., Pueblo
Her first reaction was “Oh My God, really?” She wasn’t sure if it was fake, but answered when she saw it was from the government. When asked what she’s most excited about, she said while she’s not really sure what she’s facing, she’s going to “grab as much as I can.”
Mary S., Denver
Mama Mary is a sorority Mom to college students at the University of Denver. A frequent player in second-chance drawings, she compares the upcoming 90-second shopping spree to an 80s game show. Her strategy is all about training and teamwork.
Shawn Y., Strassburg
Shawn’s reaction to winning was a "quiet fist pump" on the other end of the line, celebrating his first big second-chance win after years of playing. Due to some health challenges, Shawn will have his girlfriend and her friend make the dash on his behalf. They plan to coordinate a genius strategy beforehand.
Kenneth M., Golden
Kenneth is "tickled pink" about his win. He sees the 90-second dash as a hilarious and awesome opportunity. He feels great about the Lottery’s support for good causes and sees this chance to dash as just a fun experience and a chance to win. His strategy is simple: “90 seconds is plenty of time to grab some nice stuff.” Only entering second-chance drawings six months ago, Kenneth is excited for "Christmas in October.”
Kevin M., Colorado Springs
Kevin was so shocked when he heard he had won that he and his wife drove from Colorado Springs to Pueblo just to confirm the news. He’s curious and excited about the run. They’ve watched videos of other dashes to prepare, but their main strategy will simply be to see what catches their eye during the event.
Keta S., Aurora
When Keta got the call, she thought it sounded like something neat to do. She’s most excited to check out all of the items they will have to choose from. With so little time to “shop,” Keta plans to just “grab whatever I can.” She’s shopping for herself, but bringing her friend, who gives Keta all of her non-winning tickets to scan for her. Keta lives in Aurora and works at King Soopers.
