3/12/2009 - 2:52 PM Greensburg Resident Gets a Pleasant Surprise on the Way to Work
"I checked my numbers and all five matched," said the 53 year old Greensburg resident. "I couldn't believe I'd won, so I walked out of the store. Then I turned around and went back in to check them again." Patterson claimed his half of the $50,000 Easy 5 jackpot at the Louisiana Lottery's headquarters in Baton Rouge. He received $17,500 after required state and federal tax withholdings. He purchased his winning ticket at Whispering Pines C Store on Highway 10 in Greensburg. Whispering Pines C Store will receive a one-time selling bonus of $250, or 1 percent of half the jackpot prize. The second jackpot-winning ticket from the March 7 Easy 5 drawing was purchased at Circle K #9727 on Plank Road in Baton Rouge. The winning numbers for the March 7 Easy 5 drawing were 13-17-23-35-37. Persons must be at least 21 years of age to purchase a Lottery ticket. Anyone who has a gambling problem or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem are encouraged to call toll-free 1-877-770-7867. For security purposes, the Lottery strongly encourages players to sign the back of their ticket after purchasing. More News |
