The Mississippi Lottery does not identify winners by name.

In the Match 5 game, players select five numbers from 1 to 35. Prizes are awarded for as few as two correct numbers, and the jackpot goes to players who match all five — which the Vicksburg winner did.

The winning combination for the Dec. 31 drawing was 7-10-12-21-29. The winner also purchased the multiplier bonus option, which tripled his prize. He was the only person in the Dec. 31 drawing to match all five numbers.

The Cash 4 winner bought her winning ticket at Suds N Smokes for the Jan. 6 drawing and matched all four numbers to claim the $5,000 top prize.

The winning four-number combination of 0-2-1-3 was played as an exact match, which led to the jackpot. The Cash 4 game allows players to pick four numbers in any order or an exact order, with an exact match paying the maximum $5,000 prize.

The cost of a ticket is $1.

The Vicksburg winner was one of only two players to match all four numbers for the Jan. 6 drawing.

Other recent Mississippi Lottery winners around the Vicksburg area include:

• A Louisiana woman won $2,500 on a $5 scratch-off ticket sold at Food Maxx Dba Port Mart on North Washington Street in Vicksburg.

• A Rolling Fork man on $1,000 on a $20 scratch-off ticket from Rick’s Express No. 3 in Rolling Fork.

• A Port Gibson woman won a total of $2,700 on two tickets in the Cash 4 game for drawings in December. The tickets were purchased from Nick’s One Stop in Port Gibson.
