Alafijia Thurmond

Windy City Resident Wins in D.C. Congratulations, Alafijia Thurmond of Chicago, IL! She's our latest Hot Lotto Sizzler winner for $10,000. Visiting friends here in D.C., Ms. Thurmond randomly decided to play Hot Lotto after playing Powerball. She checked her tickets online and discovered her win. Happy about the $10,000, Ms. Thurmond express some regret about not winning the jackpot as she was off by one number. "I'll take what I can get," she said jovially. This winning ticket was purchased at Metropolitan News, 901 New York Avenue, N.W.
