Lucky at Lotto

Vien Khac Le of Everett had a good week of lottery play. He claimed $11,000 Monday from a winning Match 4 ticket and a $1,000 Scratch ticket. On top of that, he won $5,000 last week on another Scratch ticket.

Folks claimed $1,787,400 this week at various lottery offices in our state.

That included a $260,000 Hit 5 winner from Richland and Steve Jacobs from Oak Harbor, who picked up $10,000 from Match 4.

And congrats to the Tacoma police officer who won $1 million on a Scratch ticket.

Breakfast with Bethany: “Taking care of those who took care of us,” a breakfast event, is planned for 7 a.m. Oct. 12 at the Holiday Inn, 3105 Pine St. in Everett. A Raili M. Hanson Inspirational Award will be presented.
