Winning lottery tickets worth hundreds of millions
Friday, January 2, 2004
SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio -- Someone who buys lottery tickets in this Cleveland suburb is going to have a prosperous new year. Ditto for ticket buyers in Pennsylvania and South Carolina. A winning Mega Millions ticket worth $162 million was sold at a convenience store here, Ohio Lottery spokeswoman Mardele Cohen said. It was the only ticket in the 11-state jackpot that matched all the numbers in Tuesday night's drawing. By the time lottery offices closed for the holiday late Wednesday, no one had claimed the prize. Lottery offices also were closed Thursday in Pennsylvania and South Carolina, where two winning tickets were sold in Wednesday night's drawing for a $221.5 million Powerball lottery prize.
