One hundred and twenty million dollars.

The sum is enough to make 55-year-old Rosetta Hucey's heart sing with hope.

With the record Lotto draw scheduled for today, the 55-year-old widow from Portland, was among thousands of Jamaicans who waited in long lines to purchase tickets at Lotto windows yesterday.

TICKET TO YOUR DREAMS

After all, as the slogan goes, 'Lotto: the ticket to your dreams.'

"Mi woulda like to get some of that money you know. If mi even get quarter, mi woulda glad," she told The Gleaner in a telephone interview.

With each missed win, Mrs. Hucey has become even more determined. A long-time Lotto buyer, Mrs. Hucey has made the trek to nearby outlets to purchase tickets every Wednesday and Saturday.
