One local resident may have a little extra cash for gifts this holiday season.
The winning ticket in Saturday night's Wild Money drawing was sold at Bristol Food Mart, 259 Wood St., the Rhode Island Lottery announced Monday. The winner has not yet claimed the $38,236 jackpot.
Another local winner — a Portsmouth man — has claimed a $12,300 winning Keno Plus ticket. He played $10 on a 5-spot Quick Pick and matched 5 out of the 5 numbers for a standard payout of $4,100. Since he opted to play Keno Plus for an extra $1, and the 3 multiplier was drawn, his prize was tripled to $12,300. He plans to put the money towards Christmas shopping. Vickers Liquor at 274 Bellevue Avenue in Newport sold the winning ticket.
For information on claiming a winning ticket, contact the RI Lottery at 401-463-6500 or visit www.rilot.com.
What would you do with the money if the $32,000 jackpot was yours? Would you have an extra special Christmas this year? Buy a new car? Put the money away for a rainy day? Let us know in the comments section below.
