Start 2025 Right: Meet the First Winner of the Year!

The first Colorado Lotto+ winner of 2025 in TuLotero is a 64-year-old hard worker whose life took an extraordinary turn as the New Year began. After years of playing the lottery with what she describes as “stubborn optimism,” she finally hit the jackpot—and, in a modern twist, purchased the winning ticket through the TuLotero app.

Interview with the first Colorado Lotto+ winner of the year

“I’ve been buying tickets since the ‘80s,” she said with a smile, sitting in the cozy living room of her suburban Colorado home. “Back then, you had to drive to the store, fill out those little paper slips, and hope the ink didn’t smudge. Now? You can play from your couch with a few taps on your phone. It’s wild how things have changed.”

The life-changing moment came on January 4, 2025. “I was in my recliner, halfway paying attention to the drawing, as usual,” she said. “By the time my numbers lined up, I was shaking. I must’ve checked the app five times to make sure I wasn’t dreaming.”

When asked about her plans for the prize, her priorities were both thoughtful and down-to-earth. “First, I’m paying off some leftover Christmas bills,” she said. “The holidays are always magical, but they’re not exactly easy on the wallet.”

And after that? The winner plans to treat herself to something simple yet meaningful. “I’ve been eyeing this fancy stand mixer for years—it’s been on my wishlist forever,” she shared, laughing. “I love baking for my family, and now I can finally splurge on one. It’s a little thing, but it’s something that’ll make me smile every time I use it.”

As the first big winner of the year, her story feels like a beacon of hope for 2025—a reminder that the best surprises can come when you least expect them. For one Coloradan, a few taps on the TuLotero app turned a New Year’s dream into a life-changing reality.
