That's a $10,000 smacker city employee Jerome Weiss (seated center) is giving a Michigan Lottery ticket in behalf of the "Big Nine" at City Hall, nine employees who pool their tickets. They came up with a double-number ticket which put them into today's super drawing at Alma. Weiss was hoping his kiss of luck would produce the top $200,000 prize or a $50,000 prize, but the group reportedly was happy with the $10,000 which came its way today. Others seated (from left) are Margaret Munson and Mary Schlecht. Standing (from left) are Jack Bergren, Hubert (Red) Haley, Carol Soper, Al Saccomagno and Walter (Red) Smiley, John Robbins was not present for the picture.
