LANSING, March 12, 2007 – A very lucky regular Mega Millions player won a $10,000 prize in the March 6 drawing!  Laurence Delcourt of Washington matched four white numbers and the gold Mega number to win the prize.

Delcourt purchased the lucky winning ticket at Cy’s Food Center #2, 33090 Groesbeck Hwy., in Fraser.
