Oct 9, 2002 - One $9 Million Winner - Madisonville - CVO
Retailer: MS Sales, 401 S. May, Madisonville
Winner: Leonard Jozwiak (JRJGJ Investments Ltd) - Collected $5,845,723 on Nov. 13, 2002

Re-Cap of Oct 9, 2002 Lotto Jackpot Win Available Funds To Pay One 6 of 6 Winner Advertised Jackpot: $9 Million Total Sales In Roll: $15,575,304
6 of 6 share from sales (37.532%)	$5,845,723
Reserve Fund	+ $171,328
Excess 3 of 6 funds - transferred to Reserve	+ $73,005
Total Funds "Available" To Pay 6 of 6 Winner	= $6,090,056
Investment Costs for a Return of $9 Million	$5,539,824
Reserve Fund Balance From Roll TLC's Share from Sales In Roll	$244,333 $7,088,887
From This “Roll” With Total Sales - $15,575,304 5 of 6 Winners Won: $434,331 4 of 6 Winners Won: $1,070,311 3 of 6 Winners Won: $970,385 Total: $2,475,027 But, this is not the amount that will necessarily be collected. Some of these funds will go into the "Unclaimed Prize Fund" and will never be returned to players. The winner chose Cash Value Option for this win. This winner will receive the amount in the prize pool, $5,845,723 as it is greater than the amount needed to get a return of $9 million. This is the way it should be - the player is receiving his exact share of sales. However, the TLC has placed $244,333 in reserve which is money that should have been paid to players. It comes from the 55% that "shall" be returned to the players.
