Two Winners Will Split A $25 Million Colorado Lotto+ Jackpot

The $25 million prize is the second-highest Colorado Lotto+ jackpot; a $27 million jackpot was won in 1992 by a single player.

Each new winner will claim $12.5 million, and each winner will claim separately, the Colorado Lottery said in a Thursday news release. The jackpot winning numbers were 5-8-12-18-36-40.

The jackpot winning tickets were sold at a Safeway fuel center, 626 Colorado 105 in Monument, and through the Winners Circle in Pueblo, a Jackpocket mobile app.

If one or both winners take the lump-sum option, rather than a 25-year annuity, the amount per winner will be $6.25 million before taxes, the state said. -- Kieran Nicholson, The Denver Post
