8/26/2011 - 9:14 AM New Orleans Resident Claims $350,000 Lotto Jackpot
"We're going to have a family meeting to discuss what to do with the money," shared Taylor, age 54. "I'm going to buy new tires, maybe even a new car. My daughter wants to go to Las Vegas to see Cirque Du Soliel, so we'll probably do that too." A loyal player, Taylor has been playing the Lottery for 20 years since its inception in 1991. He said he's always enjoyed thinking of how he could help his family and others if he ever "won big." Kenilworth Spur on I-10 South Service Road in New Orleans sold Taylor his jackpot-winning ticket. The store will receive a bonus of $3,500, which is 1 percent of the prize, for selling the winning ticket. The winning numbers for the Aug. 17 Lotto drawing were 01-04-06-14-15-17. After federal and state taxes were withheld, Taylor received $245,000. 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 |
