Upon reading the instuctions
again Leno realized she was, in
fact, an instant winner. She
also won $2.00 on another
ticket, “which is pretty good
profit for $5.00,” said Leno.
Chances of winning $5,000 are
one in 60,000.
Leno, who is a reporter/ pho
tographer for Spilyay Tymoo,
said it was difficult to visualize
just how much $5,000 really
was. “ I thought about having

Leno was in Portland to do
an article for Spilyay Tymoo
on artist Lillian Pitt. “ If it
hadn’t been for her and her
terrific art work, I wouldn’t
have been there. I was so happy
to win and she was so pleased
for me that I bought one of her
masks.”
Plans for the money are
much like anyone else’s would
be. “I’m going to pay my bills
first, then do a little Christmas
shopping and put the rest in the
bank,” says Leno. “It’s going to
make a perfect Christmas.
What would make it even more
perfect is if everyone could win
$5,000!”

It was a beautiful, balmy
December 4 when, at 9:30 a.m.,
“Lucky” Pat Leno hit it big in
Fruitvalley, W ashington, a
suburb of Vancouver. Leno
won $5,000 in the Washington
state lotter which began in
September of this year.
W h ile s to p p e d a t a
grocery/deli/service station in
Fruitvalley to buy gas, Leno
and her companion, Keith
Baker, decided to buy five,
$ 1.00 lottery tickets. “I thought
it would be fun to play—what
could 1 lose in $5.00,” said a
glowing and happy Leno a few
days after she won.
“I guess when you buy a
ticket, inside you know you can
win, but you really don’t
believe it,” said Leno.
Each instant-w in ticket
consists of six slots, that when

$5,000. It takes three identical
dollar amounts to win. Leno’s
winning ticket was the third in
the series she purchased and as
she scratched the first two,
$5,000 slots, she went on to
scratch off all the other tickets,
thinking she couldn’t be that
close to winning. When Leno
returned to the winning ticket
and scratched off the remaining
numbers, she thought she had
