SACRAMENTO – Did you check your ticket after the Emmy Awards? If not, now is the time. California Lottery officials are announcing that less than 20 miles north of the Nokia Theater, home of last night’s TV awards extravaganza, a winning Fantasy 5 ticket was purchased.
The winning ticket was purchased at Valley Liquor on 11723 Saticoy Street in North Hollywood. The winning numbers are 6, 9, 17, 19 and 37.
The California Lottery recommends winners to sign the back of their tickets, keep tickets in a safe place and contact Lottery officials or visit your local Lottery District Office (http://www.calottery.com/AboutUs/Locations) as soon as possible. Winners have 180 days from the date of the draw to claim prizes.
More than 95 cents of every Lottery dollar is returned to the community in the form of contributions to education, prizes and retail commissions. The California Lottery contributes at least 34 cents of every dollar that players spend on Lottery products to public education and returns more than 50 percent of sales to players in the form of prizes. Since its inception in 1985, the Lottery has contributed more than $20 billion to California schools out of total sales of nearly $55 billion. Retailers benefit too, earning $3.5 billion in compensation since 1985.
