Bride-to-Be Wins $100,000 Top Prize Playing Delaware Lottery’s 100X THE CELEBRATION Instant Game

Dover, DE — “Wedded bliss” came early for a Wilmington woman who recently won the $100,000 top prize in the Delaware Lottery 100X THE CELEBRATION Instant Game. The 32-year-old bride-to-be plans to use some of the money to pay for her upcoming wedding.

The woman—who opted not to release her name publicly—claimed her prize at Delaware Lottery Headquarters on Aug. 18. During her visit she told Lottery Officials that this was the first “big prize” she’s won as a Delaware Lottery player. When asked how she reacted when she discovered she won $100,000, the winner shared that she was in a state of disbelief and that she reached out to her family to tell them the exciting news.

The Delaware native purchased her winning ticket at Naaman’s Beverage Mart Inc., located at 109 Naamans Road in Claymont.

“The Delaware Lottery couldn’t be happier for this winner, and it’s incredibly meaningful to us that her prize will help pay for her wedding celebration,” said Helene Keeley, director of the Delaware Lottery. “We love hearing stories about the ways Delawareans plan to use a lottery prize—whether that means having a little extra to help pay for a wedding, adding to their savings, or anything in between. As always, we encourage all Delaware Lottery players to enjoy playing responsibly. And we wish this bride-to-be and her partner a wonderful life together!”

The 100X THE CELEBRATION Instant Game was launched in 2025 as part of the Delaware Lottery’s 50^th Anniversary Year and at the time offered two top prizes of $100,000. In addition to the top prizes and second-highest prizes of $20,000, players can win anywhere from $20 to $2,000. The 100X THE CELEBRATION Instant Game costs $20 and as of Aug. 19, one top prize remained unclaimed. 100X THE CELEBRATION tickets are available at Delaware Lottery retailers statewide.
