Dominican Lottery US$1M plus winner?where are you?
Thought i would add this here dominican today
SANTO DOMINGO.- It?s been 9 days since the 43 million peso (over US$1 million) drawing was won by a person in Moca, but no one has come forth to claim the money in the offices of the Dominican lottery operator Leidsa.
"Apparently the winner of the drawing is holed up," said this morning an employee of the pharmacy Emmy, in the Ramon C?ceres highway, in Moca, where the winning ticket was sold.
In Leidsa? offices in Santo Domingo as of noon today Monday no one has come to pick up the money and last week reporters of the newspaper El Nacional visited at least two houses of people who are rumored as the possible winners, but there was no winning ?feel? in neither place while relatives and friends also denied it.
The winning numbers combination was 01-05-06-09-18-20, drawn on Saturday, January 27, but it seems that so far the winner wishes to keep a low profile.
Leidsa sets a 60 day deadline for winners to claim their prizes, but they traditionally do so on the day after the drawing.
Last year one of the winners did not claim their prize, which was 22 million pesos, amount which was added to the accumulative in the drawing following the expiration date.
