News Release

A woman from Narragansett won a total of $10,213 on The Numbers Game.  She played the month and day she and her fiancé met, combined with the number of years they have been together: 9 1 6 8. She wagered $1 on one four-digit straight ticket and $1 on one four-digit combo bet for the February 5 Midday drawing.  The numbers were drawn in the exact order she played them, resulting in a $5,000 win on the straight bet and a $5,208 win on the combo bet.  She also added the Instant Match feature for an extra $1, and won $5 when one of her numbers matched one of the computer selected numbers printed on her ticket. The winner purchased her tickets from Cumberland Farms, 685 Point Judith Rd., Narragansett.  She and her fiancé plan to take a trip together when things settle down.

Then, one of the $30,000 top prizes from the Emerald and Pearls Instant Game was claimed by Tabitha Coutu of Hope, Rhode Island.  She purchased the winning ticket from 7-Eleven, 7330 Post Rd., North Kingstown. There is one more top prize of $30,000 remaining in this game.  The winning ticket image and winner photo is attached.

With the anticipated snow, the Rhode Island Lottery reminds Rhode Islanders they can access eInstant games on the Lottery's app or website to play at home.
