"It just feels great," shared Alvis, age 51. "I already had some plans of things I wanted to do and now I'm able to do those things." Alvis shared that he plans to use his winnings to purchase a new home for his mother and a new car for himself. Valero Corner Store #370 on West Tunnell Boulevard in Houma sold Alvis his jackpot-winning ticket. The store will receive a bonus of $4,250, which is 1 percent of the prize, for selling the winning ticket. The winning numbers for the July 16 Lotto drawing were 11-19-21-23-35-39. After federal and state taxes were withheld, Alvis received $297,500. Lottery ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. Draw-style game tickets must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing. Anyone who may have a gambling problem or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem should call toll free 1-877-770-7867 for help. For security purposes, the Lottery strongly encourages players to sign the back of their tickets immediately after purchasing. More News |
