Pueblo man wins two $1 million Powerball prizes on the same day

PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) — One man from Pueblo has some luck that's hard to believe. The Colorado Lottery announced "Joe B" from Pueblo won two $1 million Powerball prizes on March 25th.

He redeemed his tickets Monday morning at the Colorado Lottery’s Pueblo drive-thru claims office. A press release from the Colorado Lottery said when staff asked what Joe B and his wife plan to spend the money on, he said, "the Boss has plans for it."

He bought one of the winning tickets in the morning when he purchased a few Powerball plays at 7-Eleven on 926 Lake Ave. Then he stopped and bought a few more plays, including his second winning ticket, in the evening at Loaf N' Jug on 2050 Lake Ave.

Joe B said he likes to play one play of his own numbers and a couple more plays with Quick Picks.

That’s not the only good luck in Pueblo lately. Last Wednesday, a $2 million winning ticket was sold at Alta Convenience at 2801 N. Elizabeth.

That same day a $1 million winning ticket was sold at 7-Eleven at 5 Widefield Blvd. in Colorado Springs.
