The winning ticket sold in La Veta is the fifth jackpot win since the end of July

Well, someone’s Livin’ La Veta Loca right about now.

One lucky person woke up Thursday to the crazy reality of hitting Wednesday’s $2.6 million Colorado Lotto+ jackpot — thanks to a ticket sold in the tiny town of La Veta, according to Colorado Lottery officials.

The winning ticket was purchased at Charlie’s Market, which is located at 214 S. Main Street, in the town of 878 people.

The winner, who has not been named, has the option of taking a one-time lump sum payment of $1.3 million.

The winning numbers in the Nov. 13 drawing were 1-7-12-19-27-32.

Officials said this is the state’s fifth new millionaire from the Colorado Lottery since the end of July. Other wins included:

July 31: $5.7 million in Aspen

August 3: $1.1 million in Thornton

August 17: $1.5 million in Carbondale

October 5: $3.1 million in Littleton

The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 3.84 million, officials said.
