“I saw the winning numbers Saturday night, but mixed up my Lotto and Easy 5 tickets. I was disappointed that I had the right numbers for the wrong game!” exclaimed LeBlanc, age 46.
“When I rechecked my numbers and saw that my first number matched, I just started crying,” said LeBlanc. “I couldn’t go back to sleep after that.” She said she plans to buy a lawnmower and pay bills with her winnings.
