$100,000 Instant Win in Westerly
Plus $10,000 Winning Raffle and Instant Tickets Claimed

 Rhode Island Lottery Players are cashing in big today.

Instant Tickets
Angelo Fusaro (photo attached), Westerly, claimed his $100,000 prize won on the Rhode Island Lottery’s Pinball Wizard Instant Ticket after buying it last night from Cumberland Farms on Friendship Street in Westerly. At 28 years old, he said he’ll give some money to his parents since they let him live at home for so many years. Then he plans to put the rest of the money towards a house and a wedding.

A Barrington woman also came in to the Lottery to claim a $10,000 top prize on the Gold 7’s Instant Game. She bought her winning ticket from JD Stores on Willett Avenue in East Providence.

Million Dollar Raffle
The fourth $10,000 Early Bird winning ticket for the Rhode Island Lottery’s Million Dollar Raffle Game was claimed by a Warwick woman. The drawing took place on December 3 and the winning number was
0 5 2 0 8 4. The winning ticket was sold from Stop & Go Gas & Convenience on Warwick Avenue in Warwick. The winner couldn’t believe she won and said she keeps expecting to wake up from a dream.

There is one more $10,000 Early Bird Drawing, scheduled for Thursday, December 17, and then the Grand Prize Drawing takes place on New Year’s Eve. To be entered into the Early Bird and Grand Prize Drawings, players need only purchase a Million Dollar Raffle Ticket.
