LANSING, February 21, 2003 – Two lucky Wayne County residents are rolling in dough after each matching all five numbers in the Michigan Lottery’s Michigan Rolldown game to win separate jackpot prizes!

A lucky Trenton woman was happy to discover she had matched all five numbers in the November 21 drawing to win a $13,960 jackpot prize! That day’s winning numbers were: 1, 3, 6, 24 and 28.

In total for the November 21 drawing, 15,166 winners shared $48,193 in prizes. In addition to the sole jackpot winner, 41 winners matched four numbers to win a $139 prize; 1,490 winners matched three numbers to win a $10 prize; and 13,634 winners matched two numbers to win the $1 prize.

The jackpot-winning ticket was purchased at Trenton Express Market, 2471 W. Jefferson Ave., in Trenton.

The lucky 80-year-old winner, who requested anonymity, said she saw the winning numbers broadcast on television and that was when she discovered she had a winning ticket.

Prior to turning the winning ticket in at the Lottery’s regional office in Dearborn Heights, the lucky woman said she kept it in her wallet at all times to ensure its safety.  She added that she plans to share her winnings with her family.

A lucky Grosse Ile man matched all five numbers in the February 10 Michigan Rolldown drawing to win a $13,290 jackpot prize! That day’s winning numbers were: 7, 8, 18, 20 and 32.

This lucky man, who requested anonymity, purchased the winning "easy pick" ticket at Marathon, 13169 Northline Road, in Southgate.

The 57-year-old winner, who works as a tailor at Hot Sams, looked up the winning numbers in a local newspaper and that is how he discovered he won the jackpot.

Prior to turning the winning ticket in at the Lottery’s regional office in Dearborn Heights, the lucky man said he kept it in his office to ensure its safety. He added that he plans to use his winnings to pay bills.
