The Auburn retailer is celebrating with a $13k jackpot selling bonus from Washington’s Lottery
Olympia, Wash. (June 28, 2024) – After nearly 30 years in business, Muckleshoot Casino Resort in Auburn still has a lot to celebrate. On June 22, the retailer, which is located at 2402 Auburn Way S, sold the winning ticket for the recent $1.3 million Lotto jackpot. While the drawing was only a few days ago and the prize remains unclaimed, this momentous sale earned the casino a $13,000 retailer selling bonus from Washington’s Lottery.
This is the third time this month that Muckleshoot Casino Resort has paid out a large Lotto prize – the previous two were second-tier prizes of $1,000 that were paid out on June 3 and June 7.
“When we learned that we had sold the winning ticket and were receiving a bonus, we were absolutely thrilled. We’re already planning on how we’re going to celebrate as a team,” said Robert Dearstine, Executive Director of Marketing at Muckleshoot Casino Resort. “We’re even more excited for the lucky player who will be taking home this sizeable win. It’s such a special moment that can change someone’s life for the better.”
Washington’s Lottery is encouraging players to check their tickets, as the $1.3 million Lotto jackpot prize remains unclaimed. Players hoping to claim their prize must come in to one of the regional offices of Washington’s Lottery before 5 p.m. on December 19, 2024, when the prize is set to expire. The winning numbers for the June 22, 2024, drawing were 11-18-26-33-38-46.
