Slidell Man’s Unreal Experience

Ray McDonald of Slidell claimed the $275,000 Lotto jackpot from the Aug. 3 drawing at the 飞艇168®幸运体彩预测-全国统一Louisiana在线官方查询结果网-最新体彩预测数据 Corporation's headquarters.

McDonald's ticket matched all six numbers drawn to become the third Lotto jackpot winner in the last week and the tenth winner this year. He received $192,500 after federal and state income taxes were withheld.

A loyal lottery player, McDonald said he buys Lotto, Powerball and Cash Quest tickets for every drawing. "I bought several tickets for Wednesday's drawing and sure enough, the last one I checked was the winner. It's unreal!" exclaimed McDonald. "I usually use family members' birthdays, but this time I just chose random numbers." He also said he recently won $3,000 on Cash Quest.

L & M Chevron on Highway 190 in Lacombe, which sold McDonald his winning ticket, will receive a one-time bonus of $2,750, or 1 percent of the jackpot. The winning numbers for the Aug. 3 Lotto drawing were 2-6-8-17-19-25.
