Carbondale Lotto winner has kept life simple

By Julie Bielenberg, The Aspen Times

Bill Stout, a trauma nurse who retired from Aspen Valley Hospital a year and a half ago, has developed a bit of a lottery ticket habit.

He said he spends between $6 and $8 a week on Colorado Lotto+ tickets at City Market in Carbondale, where he lives.

He’d won a couple of hundred dollars here and there over the years, but nothing special. Enough to support the habit.

Then he used quick pick for the June 10 drawing. Boom, $3,896,039.
