Private Investigator Alerts Man of Lottery Win

A Castle Rock man turned a losing lottery ticket into a record-setting winner thanks to Colorado’s Second Chance drawing.

Calvin Beamon won $1 million with a $20 Colorado Millionaire lottery scratch ticket when his number was pulled from more than 200,000 entries, said Erika Gonzalez, media specialist for the Colorado Lottery.

It took lottery officials several days to reach Beamon, who works in Rifle and could not be reached for comment for this report.

He did not respond to phone messages and officials were unsure if he received a certified letter. A visit from a private investigator finally triggered a response. When the investigator left a business card on Beamon’s door, his son — who was checking on the house — alerted him to the mysterious visit.
