Lotto Winner’s Throat Slashed

SAN MARCOS, Calif. — A woman who last month shared in a $700,000 California Lotto win was found dead in her home with her throat slashed, San Diego County authorities said today. Ann Marie Jenkins, 30, was found by her husband when he returned home from work about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

“No suspects have been identified and no motive is known,” Lt. Bill Baxter said. Jenkins and her husband, Gary, won about $700,000 last month in the state Lotto game. The couple and their five children picked the numbers on the winning ticket. She had been home alone with a 10-month-old baby, deputies said. Her body was fully clothed and was discovered in a hallway. The baby had not been harmed. The other children were at the home of her sister.
