Lottery News for July 3, 2000

Monday, July 3, 2000

 – There was no Jackpot winner Friday, but there were three (3) $150,000 winning tickets sold -- 1 in Maryland, 1 in Michigan, and 1 in New Jersey.  For a complete list of the number of winners in all the prize categories, see the Winning Combinations page.
