SLIDELL MAN CLAIMS JULY 7 LOTTO JACKPOT
July 12, 2012
Evan Bauer of Slidell was just warming up when he matched five of the six Lotto numbers in the July 4 drawing to win a $1,842 Louisiana Lottery prize, and he hit a homerun in the subsequent Lotto drawing where he matched all six numbers to win the $1,716,696 jackpot.
"Pick your numbers and stick to them," the 29-year-old shared when he claimed his prize at Lottery headquarters in Baton Rouge on Monday. "Eventually it will pay off!"
RaceTrac Petroleum #380 on Gause Boulevard in Slidell sold Bauer his winning ticket and will receive a bonus of $17,167, which is 1 percent of the prize, for the sale. The winning numbers for the July 7 Lotto drawing were 03-06-09-10-14-25.
Bauer said he plans to put the money into savings while he thinks carefully about how to spend it.
After federal and state taxes were withheld, Bauer received $1,201,687.
