Two lucky persons win the Lotto

The winning numbers in last Wednesday’s Lottery draw were 02, 05, 07, 20 and 21. Two persons got lucky and hit the jackpot, which stood at fifty-five thousand dollars. Today, a hard working mother of five from Belize City picked up her share of the money. Julia Singh took home twenty-three thousand three hundred and seventy-five dollars after taxes, but before “Big Bird” brought out the big cheque, Singh told us how she found that she was a winner.
