Seven tried but today only two Courts customers came close to hitting the jackpot in the store's 'Jacpot Show.' It was the fourth show for the year and today's jackpot was $5,000. As is usual, a customer from each of the Courts' branch was chosen to spin the Jacpot Machine. Emilsa de la Fuente, a cook at BATSUB, came the closest to the five grand when the wheel landed on the Jacpot in her third spin. Here is how it went.

Emilsa De La Fuente,
"I am feeling fine. I feel so great because that is what I wanted."
Keith Swift,
What are you going to do with the money?
Emilsa De La Fuente,
"I am going to pay some bills and the balance, I am going to put it in the bank."
In addition to the $1,900, De La Fuente also won a travel voucher. Elsie Melendez from San Ignacio also hit the Jacpot and took home $1,500 in cash in addition to jewelry. The other 5 customers took home a combination of other prizes. The next draw will be held in December.
