Leona Lewis
$25,000 Richer
On Friday, August 19, 2011, Leona Lewis of Northeast randomly selected to play the numbers 1-0-3-0-1 for her favorite D.C. Lottery game, DC 5. She placed a .50-cent wager for the mid-day drawing and won the top prize - $25,000! Her brother-in-law called to tell her the winning numbers for that drawing and that's how she found out she was $25,000 richer. Lewis said she is going to invest the money into her home. She bought her winning ticket at Sun's Gallery, 600 Maryland Avenue, SW.
