Milford woman wins $15K playing lottery instant game

Alondra Carrillo-Haro, a 22-year-old woman from Milford, recently purchased a single Instant Game ticket while visiting Milford Plaza Cigarette Outlet in Milford. Much to her surprise, that Cash Back ticket ended up winning her the game's second $15,000 top prize. Carrillo-Haro only began playing the Delaware Lottery last month. She said she plays purely for the fun of it, and was completely shocked to win $15,000. "It really took me by surprise," said Carrillo-Haro. "I couldn't wait to tell my mom how much I had won!"

"It's always great to see a new player win such a large cash prize," said Vernon Kirk, Delaware Lottery director. "Congratulations to Ms. Carrillo-Haro on her exciting win!"

Carrillo-Haro claimed her prize from Lottery Headquarters Dec. 7.
