NATIVE WINS $96,100 MULTI-WIN LOTTO PRIZE
Dover, DE -- The day after the
June 29, 2005 MULTI-WIN LOTTO drawing, a 39-year-old Delaware
woman claimed her prize worth $96,100 at the Delaware Lottery
Office in Dover. The winner received a check for $76,880 which
represents her $96,100 prize minus federal taxes withheld.
The married transcriptionist, who has chosen to remain anonymous,
purchased her ticket at Harmony Exxon in Newark. An avid Lottery
player, she used Quick Pick to select her numbers and was
in shock and disbelief when she called the Lottery Player
Information number (1-800-338-6200) to find out she won. While
she has won small amounts in the past playing the Lottery,
this is the largest prize she has won to date. When Lottery
Officials asked her plans for her winnings, the winner replied
that she plans on paying off her debt as well as donating
a portion of the winnings to a local cause.
Since the start of operations in 1975, the Delaware Lottery
has contributed more than
$1.8 billion to the state's General Fund to help finance needed
state services that benefit everyone in Delaware. The Lottery
offers a variety of games: POWERBALL®, MULTI-WIN LOTTO,
PLAY 3, PLAY 4, and assorted Instant Games.
