Seine Bight woman wins $40,000

A woman from Seine Bight Village in the Stann Creek District is forty thousand dollars richer tonight following some good luck in the latest Courts Megabucks spin. The name of Julia Ariola was drawn last week from thousands of Courts customers and on Saturday she took her turn at the wheel at the store’s main branch in Belize City.

“First, I think I have to build a lee house. Before that I wah get ready for Christmas first, after that build a lee house, share some with mi family, and the rest dah bank if any change left.”

Ariola works in the housekeeping department of The Inn at Robert’s Grove. She keeps the full forty grand, as Courts pays all the taxes. The final and largest Megabucks draw for a possible seventy-five thousand dollars will be held on January fifth, with the spin taking place on January tenth.
