GRAND RAPIDS RESIDENT CLAIMS HOT LOTTO JACKPOT
January 18, 2012
“You always hope, but you never expect to win,” said Sandy Conrad as her husband, Don Conrad of Grand Rapids, claimed a Hot Lotto jackpot worth $2.61 million.
“I always buy a ticket,” said Sandy. “I didn’t think much about it. When I went to work on Monday, somebody said, ‘Someone in Itasca County won Hot Lotto!’ I had to work late and when I got home, Don said, ‘Get on the computer [to check the winning numbers.]’ I printed off the numbers and checked.” She saw that all six numbers on the first line of her five-line quick-pick ticket matched the winning numbers and told Don.
“I jumped up and ran out there and looked. I just couldn’t believe it,” he said.
Don is retired, but Sandy had to go to work at the Grand Rapids Herald-Review newspaper the next morning to ask for a day off to claim the prize.
River Road Market, located at 302 – 7th Ave. S.E. in Grand Rapids, sold the winning ticket and will receive a $10,000 bonus.
The cash option is worth $1.98 million before required tax withholding.
The winning Hot Lotto numbers on Jan. 14, 2012 are 1-4-9-17-21 and the Hot Ball was 10.
