| Kansas City, Kan. Couple Claims $9.43 Million Hot Lotto Jackpot A couple in their 40s from Kansas City, Kansas, say they both like their jobs and will continue to work, even though they are the winners of a $9.43 million Hot Lotto jackpot. The winners, who asked the Lottery not to disclose their identities, claimed the prize today at Lottery headquarters, after matching all numbers in the January 12 drawing. The lucky numbers were 13-15-21-34-35 Hot Ball 4. "We got home from church yesterday and my husband checked our Hot Lotto ticket on the Lottery's website," the wife said. "When he told me we had hit the jackpot, I was quiet for a moment and then I cried. God knows, things have not been easy for us lately financially." The amount of the jackpot – $9.43 million – was especially significant. In recent months, the husband had twice won several hundred dollars playing the numbers 9-4-3 on Pick 3, both in Kansas and in Missouri! "One of my children gave me those numbers to play," he said. The winners have three children, but had not yet told them about the jackpot win when they claimed the ticket. "We wanted to make sure it was real first!" The couple elected to take the cash option, which was worth $7,154,940. After 25% is taken for federal taxes, $1,788,735; and 5% for state taxes, $357,747; the winners will receive a payment of $5,008,458. They plan to use the money to help family members and for their children's education. "Our children are really good students, and we're very proud of them. They'll be able to go to college anywhere they want now." The winners purchased their lucky ticket at QuikTrip 239R, located at 555 N. 78th Street in Kansas City, Kansas. For selling the jackpot-winning ticket, the store receives a $2,500 selling bonus. The Kansas Lottery's new executive director was especially eager to meet the jackpot winners today. Dennis Taylor's first day on the job as Kansas Lottery Executive Director was January 11. The very next day, Kansas captured the Hot Lotto jackpot. "Talk about a great way to begin a new job – making this nice couple multimillionaires," said Taylor. |

Whitewood, SD Man Claims $30,000 Hot Lotto Prize
When the customer ahead of him at Woody's in Whitewood purchased lotto tickets for the November 14, 2012 drawings, Aaron Arehart thought that sounded like a good idea. And when the clerk asked Arehart if he wanted the "extras" on his purchase, he told her yes. That's how the Whitewood man ended up winning $30,000 on his Hot Lotto ticket.Arehart hit five of five white ball numbers but missed the Hot Ball, which is normally a $10,000 prize but because he purchased the Sizzler option for an additional $1, the prize was tripled. He says he plays lotto on a random basis, depending on the jackpots and the $30,000 is his biggest win to date. Arehart found out he was a winner at the same store where he got the winning ticket. "I used the ticket self-checker at Woody's and found out I had a winner. I'm really glad the clerk asked me if I wanted the extras because that won me another $20,000," said Arehart. His brother was the first to hear of the big win, Arehart says mainly because no one else was answering their phones. Although he's still getting over the shock, Arehart already has some ideas as to what he'll do with the winnings. "I'm going to pay off all my debt, do some traveling, and save the rest," he said. |

Mapleton Resident Wins Sizzlin' Hot Prize worth $30,000
– When Brian Snyder checked his Hot Lotto ticket on a Kansas Lottery Check-a-Ticket machine last Saturday, he was quite surprised when a message read, "Claim at Lottery. Sign back of ticket." Never seeing this before, Snyder figured he must have won $600 or possibly more, and he was correct! The Mapleton resident revealed the first five Hot Lotto numbers in the January 11 drawing, winning a $10,000 cash prize, but since he purchased the Sizzler option, his winnings were multiplied by three, bringing his total winnings to $30,000!Snyder, who purchased a $4 Quick Pick ticket, was literally one number away from winning the Hot Lotto jackpot. Snyder's winning numbers were 08-16-28-34-35 Hot Ball 13. The winning numbers were 08-16-28-34-35 Hot Ball 14. "After I checked my ticket and got the message that I had to claim my ticket at the Lottery, I went over to a friend's house to look up the numbers on the Internet," explained Snyder. "I was very surprised to see that I won $30,000. I've been playing Hot Lotto since the game began and this is the first time I've won over $12. Adding the Sizzler option really paid off for me. When I told my friends and family how much I had won, some had a hard time believing me." There are nine ways to win playing Hot Lotto. By adding the Sizzler option, the total cost of a wager doubles, but players have a chance to triple any prizes won. "I'm going to continue buying my tickets with Sizzler," said Snyder.

He purchased his winning ticket at Hill's Service 1, located at 308 N. National in Fort Scott. |

WATERLOO MAN CLAIMS
$7.5 MILLION HOT LOTTO® JACKPOT
A Waterloo man who is Iowa's newest lottery millionaire has one goal in mind through the process: He wants to remain calm. His family, however, is having some trouble following that plan."I am very calm about it. These guys are more uptight about it than I am," Wally Markham said with a chuckle as he claimed his prize. Wally Markham, 65, of Waterloo, traveled to lottery headquarters in Des Moines on Wednesday to claim the $7.54 million jackpot from Saturday night's Hot Lotto® drawing. He was accompanied by his girlfriend, Vicky Lindquist of Waterloo, and her daughter and granddaughter, also of Waterloo. Markham said he learned he might be the big winner on Sunday morning, after he had given his newspaper to his neighbor to read. His neighbor called him and asked if he had a Hot Lotto ticket. Wally said he did, and the neighbor read the winning numbers to him that were printed in the paper. "He said, 'How'd you fare?' I said, 'I won,'" recalled Markham, who retired after working for 36 years at the Deere & Co. plant in Waterloo. "He said, 'Is that all you're going to say?' I said, 'Yeah, I won.' But I went over and looked at it, too." Markham said he plans to invest his jackpot winnings, and he already has tickets for the next lottery drawing because he definitely intends to win again. "I plan on it," he said with a laugh. Vicky Lindquist said she initially didn't believe Markham when he called to tell her the good news and was still having a hard time believing it was all real. "It's overwhelming," she said. "I can't believe it. I really can't believe it." |
