RI man's fantasy comes true, wins lotto

CRANSTON, R.I. (WPRI) - A North Providence man, possibly seeking one fantasy, ended up achieving a different one during a visit to an adult nightclub in Providence. He bought a ticket to Rhode Island Lottery's Million Dollar Raffle - and won!

Stephen Burrows, Jr. came forward Tuesday morning to claim the $1 million prize in the Rhode Island Lottery’s Million Dollar Raffle Game.

A spokesperson with the R.I. Lottery told Eyewitness News Burrows bought his winning ticket at Club Fantasies in Providence and played 033122 as the winning combination.

The Lot has offered the game for several years now. Tickets cost $20 a piece, with the drawing held on New Year's Eve.

Five other second-tier winners were also announced, each valuing $10,000.

Those tickets were sold at the Stop & Shop in Johnston on Commerce Way, Lakewood Liquors on Warwick Avenue in Warwick, the 7-Eleven on West Shore Road in Warwick, and the last two were sold at Twin River in Lincoln.

Lottery officials are reminding all non-winners to enter in the 2nd Chance Extravaganza on February 10 , but the deadline to register is January 23.
