LANSING, March 7, 2003 – Two lucky winners, one from Lake Orion and the other from Port Huron, are each a little bit richer today after matching all five numbers in the March 3 Michigan Rolldown drawing! The winners shared the $14,376 jackpot and will each receive a $7,188 prize.
In total for the March 3 drawing, 14,338 winners shared $48,860 in prizes. In addition to the two jackpot winners, 43 winners matched four numbers to win a $137 prize; 1,430 winners matched three numbers to win an $11 prize; and 12,863 winners matched two numbers to win the $1 prize.
Sandra Dennis of Lake Orion was "shocked" to learn that she was one of the two jackpot winners in the March 3 drawing.
Dennis, who works as a substitute teacher for Lake Orion Schools, purchased the winning "easy pick" ticket at Orion Market, 576 W. Clarkston Road, in Lake Orion.
"I stopped by a local Lottery retailer to pick up a winning number report," said Dennis. "I was so shocked! This is second time I have won a Michigan Rolldown jackpot prize!"
Dennis, 51, said she kept the winning ticket in a "safe place" prior to turning it in at the Lottery
