Maybe there’s something in the air in Natchez these days.

For the fifth time this month, a Natchez resident has won a cash prize on the Mississippi Lottery – bringing the total claimed by local residents to more than $21,000 so far this month.

A Natchez woman won $3,100 on the Sept. 15 midday drawing for the Cash 4 prize. She purchased the ticket from 61 Hill Food & Fuel on U.S. 61 South and chose the numbers 1121.

She’s the second Natchez winner in that particular drawing. Another Natchez woman won $10,000 on two tickets purchased from the Fuel Stop LLC on Pilgrim Road in Natchez.

The Cash 4 drawing awards prizes of up to $10,000 two times a day.
