Campesino Hits Jackpot - Other Winners Shy
A field hand from San Jerónimo de Esparza, hit 87.5 million Colones in the "Fatso" jackpot. The 10 pieces he exchanged on Tuesday, made him the biggest winner so far. Apparently he bought them near the main offices of the JPS in San Jose. The general manager, Luis Polinaris, confirmed that only 68 of the 200 winning tickets had been cashed in as of Tuesday.
On Wednesday, a resident of El Carmen de Guadalupe, weighed in with half of a sheet of the winning number, 20 tickets. Worth 175 million Colones. But the biggest winner may yet appear, since from the entire sheet of the 3rd emission, no tickets have been exchanged. The seller of the tickets initially recalled that it had been sold in pieces, but the JPS suspects that just one person has the whole sheet.
