• That’s how she saw that the Extra numbers on her ticket were identical to those she wrote down.
• Ms. Lanteri then said to her husband: “Look! Look! I think we won!”
• Mr. Lanteri took the time to dress before going to his retailer to check the ticket. When he saw $1,000,000 displayed on the machine, he started to sing, and then cry with joy.
