$100,000 AND $10,000 PRIZES CLAIMED FROM DEAL OR NO DEAL
August 22, 2008
Josh Parsons, 21, of Barboursville today claimed the West Virginia Lottery’s first $100,000 top prize in the Deal Or No Deal* instant game, according to Lottery Director John Musgrave. Seven of the top prizes remain to be claimed.
In addition, Musgrave said Dianne Buckland, 67, of Beaver, and Janet Lanier, of Southside, claimed the game’s first two $10,000 prizes.
Parsons’ winning ticket was bought at Little General in Chapmanville. The prize claimed by Buckland was won from a ticket purchased at Little General on Third Ave. in Beckley; Lanier bought hers at Par Mar in St. Albans.
Employed by a gas and oil drilling company, Parsons said he plans to pay off his truck, “and put the rest in the bank.”
Announced Aug. 14, the Deal Or No Deal* instant game offered $7.5 million in cash prizes, including eight $100,000 prizes and 120 $10,000 prizes. Deal Or No Deal also offers players the chance to win entry tickets for two drawings that could win them up to $2.5 million and a trip to Hollywood.
In celebration of the Lottery’s 24th anniversary Jan. 9, the Lottery took $1.2 million from the agency’s unclaimed prize fund to pay for 120 $10,000 prizes, which freed up money from sales to pay other prizes and increase odds of winning.
Approximately 82 percent of sales from the game will be returned to players in prizes.
