What would you do with an extra $51,000? Well with Christmas right around the corner, that's probably a long list. And one city resident who gets to be her own Santa Clause is Teresita Guerrero. The BTL employee matched all five numbers in last night's $60,000 Lotto draw. Guerrero told us that as soon as she found out she had won, she marched to the Lotto office, which is where we found her this morning.
Teresita Guerrero, Winner
"He went to the store where we purchase our Lotto and he said we had the winning numbers and he came to tell me. I was at work and he came to tell me that we had the winning numbers. I asked for time off and came to pickup the check."
Keith Swift,
What are you going to do with all of that money?
Teresita Guerrero,
"We have a trip planned to Merida and we will deposit some in the bank and use some for our children's education."
Keith Swift,
And it doesn't hurt that it comes just a couple weeks before Christmas.
Teresita Guerrero,
"It comes at the right time."
After taxes, Guerrero took home $51,000. The winning numbers are 8, 11, 17, 21, and 29. The free ticket letter is E. Guerrero got those numbers from a quick pick. The next Lotto drawing is Saturday and the jackpot now rolls back to an even $50,000.
