(KMZA)--A Marshall County couple has claimed the top prize of $1,000 a day for life in the Kansas Lottery's Lucky for Life game.
According to the Kansas Lottery, the couple arrived at Lottery headquarters in Topeka Wednesday to claim the prize.
The winners, who chose to remain anonymous, matched all five numbers and the Lucky Ball on a Quick Pick ticket in Monday's drawing.
The couple didn't check their tickets until Wednesday, even though they knew that someone had won the big prize.
For ten years now, the couple said they have bought tickets twice a week for the draw games.
The couple opted to take the cash option instead of the annuity prize, which is $5.75 million dollars before taxes. The prize is large enough for both of them to consider retiring early and quitting their jobs.
The couple say they plan to use their newfound free time and money to get back into old hobbies and to take a few trips they’ve been putting off.
The winning ticket was sold at CJ Express in Marysville.
