The State : Woman Hits the Jackpot

A Los Alamitos woman picked all six numbers in the California Lottery’s midweek Lotto 6-49 game to win $5.44 million, lottery officials said. Jean Lamphere will receive $217,600 a year for 20 years after taxes, officials said. Lamphere shunned publicity, and lottery officials said they were precluded from divulging any information other than her name and city of residence. Twelve players correctly guessed five of the six numbers--1, 34, 7, 26, 47, and 37--plus the bonus, 18, to share a prize pool of $1.4 million.
