LANSING, April 11, 2003 – Dusica Gavrilovski of Sterling Heights is yet another player who has struck it rich at Lens Party Store in Imlay City! She matched all five numbers in the March 29 Michigan Rolldown drawing to win a $17,488 prize! That day’s winning numbers were: 3, 6, 20, 22 and 23.

Gavrilovski, who works at the Silver Grill, purchased the winning "easy pick" ticket at Lens Party Store, 318 E. Capac Road,
in Imlay City.

Gavrilovski is the most recent lucky Lottery winner to purchase a winning ticket at Lens Party Store. The store has sold over $493,000 in top-prize winning tickets in just the past three years.

"I like to see people win," said Mike Hunter, co-owner of Lens Party Store. "It makes me and the rest of the staff feel good to see our customers rake in the bucks!"

According to Hunter, Lens Party Store is an established and trusted Lottery retailer in the community and that is the reason for the store’s recent lucky streak.

"We have been part of the Imlay City community for 30 years," said Hunter. "Our employees are friendly people who get excited for our customers when they win."

The lucky lady said she kept the winning ticket in her jewelry box to ensure its safety prior to claiming her prize at the Lottery’s regional office in Sterling Heights. Gavrilovski added that she plans to use her winnings to pay bills.

The first Michigan Rolldown drawing was held on February 28, 2000. Drawings are held seven days a week at 7:29 p.m. The cost to play is $1.00 per wager. Tickets are available at more than 7,000 Lottery retailers statewide.
