DOVER, Del. (Oct. 7, 2026) — A 55-year-old Clayton resident who works every day to ensure customers are “top priority” when it comes to service recently experienced personally how it feels to be “at the top” himself! The service manager from Clayton won the top prize of $300,000 playing the Delaware Lottery LUCKY X 50 Instant Game. Although the winner didn’t speak of having a lucky number, this development may elevate “3” to the top of his list, considering he purchased three tickets at $30 each and won three hundred thousand dollars.
When he claimed his top prize at Delaware Lottery Headquarters on Oct. 1, the man said he didn’t have any traditional way of playing the Lottery. However, he did share that he’s been playing for years for the same reason.
“I play to get the big winner,” he said.
When he discovered his prize, his first reaction was “Oh my God!” He then called his wife to deliver the great news.

And, of course, we look forward to continuing to sharing more winner stories like this one!”
The man, who opted not to release his name publicly, purchased his winning ticket at Royal Farms, located at 304 N. Dupont Blvd. in Smyrna.
