PUEBLO, Colo.—Colorado Lottery officials say a Denver woman has claimed a $200,000 Powerball prize from the Dec. 6 drawing.
Theresa Perez says she carried the lucky ticket in her purse for nearly two weeks before realizing it was a winner.
Perez, an unemployment insurance technician for the state of Colorado, says she plays the lottery occasionally but until now has only won prizes of $100 or less.
Perez says she’ll use the money to pay bills, buy Christmas presents and take her ailing husband to California to see his children.
