Enumclaw Lotto Winner Plans 'Bucket List' Road Trip

ENUMCLAW, WA - An Enumclaw woman recently won $80,000 playing the Washington Lottery's Hit 5 game. The woman, whose identity is being withheld, is planning to use the winnings for a "bucket list" road trip across the U.S.

The woman won the prize after playing the game at the QFC on Monroe Avenue. She told state lottery officials that she plays Hit 5 and Powerball using a combination of birth dates from family members.

“When I first purchased the ticket, I was out of town, so I just glanced at the numbers and thought there is no way that I actually won,” the winner told lottery officials. “When I got home, I checked my numbers and still couldn’t believe it.”

Some of the money will go toward the purchase of a new RV for a road trip to states the woman's family has not visited. The rest will go toward paying bills and savings.

The odds of winning the Hit 5 "cashpot" grand prize is about 1 in 576,000, according to the state lottery.
