Horseheads-area residents, Thomas & Betts workers split Lotto jackpot

January 6, 2009

Ten people, including several co-workers from Thomas & Betts Corp. in Horseheads, were introduced today as winners of a $7 million New York Lotto jackpot whose numbers were drawn in December.

The New York State Lottery Commission held a ceremony at Arnot Mall to announce the winners, who will split the jackpot through 26 annual payments of $140,000 – providing each winner with $14,000 a year for the next 26 years.
The winners are:

Lois Hamilton, Horseheads

Deb Hamilton, Horseheads. (She is Lois Hamilton’s daughter.)

Bonnie Blake, Breesport

Candice Ferriter, Wellsburg

Martin Fitzgerald, Elmira

Mary Gunderman, Horseheads

George VanGorden, Addison

JoAnn Hanley, Elmira

John Slovak, Erin

Karen Tompson, Horseheads

The 10 workers play Lotto through subscription, meaning they pay in advance to play the game. Their winning numbers were chosen through the quick-pick option.
