Winning D.C. Lottery number kind of spooky

Published July 30, 2012 4:00am ET



Tuesday’s winning Pick 5 numbers for the D.C. Lottery might cause the more superstitiously inclined to start looking over their shoulders — as it turns out, nine lucky people will cash in on their 66666 pick. I know. If there were six winners, it would be even better. But as it is, it’s pretty good.

Most of the winners snagged the $25,000 prize on a $1 ticket, but a few played more than one ticket and scored even more cash. Jerome Bowling, a mortician who lives in the District, was the biggest winner and cashed in five DC 5 tickets valued at $50,000 each for a total of $250,000 in winnings, according to the Lottery. Reginia Aughtry of Maryland won $150,000 on two tickets and Sirgota Sima, who said he plays his tickets randomly, won $50,000 on two tickets.
