…while late Lotto ticket is good for $115,000

Story PictureSince it was announced one month ago that someone had won the one hundred and fifteen thousand dollar lotto draw on June twenty-second, but no one showed up to claim the prize, the staff of the Tropical Gaming Company were harassed on a daily basis to produce a winner. So today when that long-awaited lucky person presented himself it came as welcome relief to the people on Queen Street. Thirty-eight year old Sydney Turton, who is not a regular Lotto player, says the delay was not intentional. He was in the process of relocating and had put the ticket away. When he recently found it, it was only natural to check the numbers.
