Recent Winners!

The last month has been a wild ride for Paul Johnson of Kansas City, Kansas. Johnson, a mailman, delivered through a polar vortex and huge temperature swings as Kansas dove right into spring. His crazy month ended in a ray of sunshine, though, as Johnson is now $100,000 richer after hitting the top prize in the $10 $100,000 Crossword! 

“I didn’t realize at first how much I had won,” Johnson said. “I was on my way to the office and I knew I had won something but didn’t know how much. It wasn’t until I was leaving for my route that I took a second look and counted how many words I had!” 

Johnson told his supervisor about his good luck, and went to put the ticket in a safe place at his father’s house while he finished his route for the day. 

“I’m not exactly sure what my long-term plans are with the winnings yet,” said Johnson. “The first thing I’m going to do is pay off any debt I have. It’s going to be awesome to be debt-free! Other than that, I’m not a super extravagant guy. Mostly I’m excited to share my good fortune with my family.” 

The winning ticket was sold at Fast Stop 12 at 945 South 55^th Street in Kansas City, Kansas. There are still two top prizes left in the $10 $100,000 Crossword instant scratch game, plus thousands in other prizes!
