AUSTIN,Texas: DPS RETIREE WINS $1 MILLION in the Texas Mega Millions Lotto

05/16/08 AUSTIN DPS RETIREE WINS $1 MILLION IN LAST FRIDAY’S Texas MEGA MILLIONS DRAWING
AUSTIN,Texas: Proving the adage that it takes only one ticket to win, Donna Lynch of Austin,
a retired state employee, bought one Texas Mega Millions ticket for last Friday’s drawing and won a significant supplement to her retirement check, $1 million.

Donna Lynch purchased the winning TX Mega Millions ticket with the Megaplier feature and hit 5 of the 6 numbers drawn but not the Mega Ball. Because the Megaplier number for that night’s drawing was four, she was able to multiply her original $250,000 into a $1 million Texas Lotto winning.
She and her sister, Cheryl Roberts, who accompanied her to Lottery headquarters, were both employed by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) for more than 20 years. Lynch, who retired in 2005,
issued licenses for concealed guns. Her sister worked in the driver’s license division,
where she monitored and suspended the licenses of repeat offenders. I still can’t believe this
is real, she said. Even though I always believed it would happen,
it’s almost too much to believe that it finally has.
