Corozal woman wins Lotto

Story Picture
It was a quick pick ticket that won Saturday night’s lotto draw. Corozal Town’s Maria Oliva bought her numbers last week Friday, as she normally does, but this time the result was slightly out of the ordinary as the ticket was worth sixty-seven thousand five hundred dollars. After giving Government its fifteen percent share of her winnings, Oliva took home a check for fifty seven thousand, three hundred and seventy five dollars this morning.

“Right now I’ll put it in the bank and later think what I can do with it.”

Q: “How do you feel about winning the lotto?”

Maria Oliva

“A little bit nervous and happy as well.”

Oliva’s lucky numbers were 16-25-26-30 and 31. Wednesday’s lotto draw went back to twenty-five thousand dollars.
