SACRAMENTO – What would you do with $10,000? Pay bills? Go on a vacation? Buy a hot rod? You could be $10,000 richer and not even know it yet.
The California Lottery recently ran a promotion for their SuperLOTTO Plus game where in addition to a chance to win a normal jackpot, 100 players won $10,000. So far, only about half of those winners have come forward to claim their prize. The promotion was called Xtra Reward and all SuperLOTTO Plus players who purchased five or more plays on a single ticket received between one and three randomly generated, unique 8-digit numbers at the bottom of their ticket. Xtra Reward numbers that matched those drawn by the California Lottery won $10,000. The promotion ran from August 1 through September 1, 2007.
“This promotion was a great opportunity to reward SLP players with an additional chance to win $1,000,000 in prizes, however, only about half that has actually been claimed,” said Lottery Director Joan Borucki. “We’d like our players to check their tickets to help us find the remaining winners. We have $10,000 waiting for them!”
