BONNY LAKE COUPLE HITS THE JACKPOT!
March 11, 2008
OLYMPIA — Thomas and Janet Clark of Bonney Lake are planning a fancy date after winning $65,000 by playing Hit 5. Thomas, a 37-year-old patient care representative, was surfing the Web the other day and decided to check the numbers on a Hit 5ticket his wife purchased.
When he gazed at the winning numbers page on the Lottery Web site, he couldn’t believe his eyes. He slowly read each number allowed, to make sure they really matched. When he was finally sure, he called out to his wife.
“Look dear, we won! We won the Lottery!” Thomas screamed.
Janet is accustomed to her husband’s practical jokes, especially jokes about winning the Lottery, and didn’t believe him.
“I had to physically show her the ticket and print out for her to believe me!” Thomas laughed.
Thomas said they never imagined winning this big and their excitement prevented them from getting any sleep.
Although they hit the jackpot, the Clarks don’t anticipate any huge splurges.
“We’re going to put the money in the bank and think about what we’re going to do for a while. All we know for sure is that we plan on going out for a nice dinner to celebrate.”
The Clarks won $65,000 when they matched all five numbers in the March 3 Hit 5 drawing, 11-14-26-28-38. They split the cashpot of $130,000 with one other Hit 5 winner. The Clarks’ ticket was purchased at Fred Meyer located at 20904 Highway 410 in Bonney Lake.
