Two Winners Will Split $25 Million Colorado Lotto+ Jackpot

Two lucky people have the winning numbers to the near record-breaking Colorado Lotto+ jackpot, officials revealed Thursday (January 20).

One of the winning tickets was sold at a Safeway fuel center at 626 Highway 105 in Monument, according to a release. The other winner played on the Jackpocket mobile app, meaning they would be anywhere in Colorado, they added.

Here are the winning numbers: 5-8-12-18-36-40.

"Each winner will claim $12.5 million, and each winner will claim separately," officials explain. "If one or both of the winners decide to take the lump sum option rather than take their prize over a 25-year annuity, the lump sum amount per winner will be $6.25 million before taxes. This Colorado Lotto+ jackpot came very close to surpassing the record jackpot of $27 million, which was won in 1992."

FOX 31 says the 1992 winner was a college student in Boulder.
