Litchfield Couple Celebrates $100,000 Cash5 Win with Dinner and a Wedding Proposal

On Dec. 14, Tom Heltzel of Litchfield stopped at Cumberland Farms #4590, Torrington, and bought a Quick Pick for each of the day’s draw games. The next morning, Tom visited the same retailer and checked his tickets for winners.

“None of them were winners—until I got to the last ticket, Cash5. My eyes are not as good as they used to be, so I had to take another look when I saw ‘Winner $100,000’ on the ticket checker. I never saw so many zeros!”

To celebrate his $100,000 win, Tom took his girlfriend, Karen, out for a delicious dinner and topped-off the evening with a wedding proposal! (P.S. She said, YES!)
