LOTTO WINNER READY FOR CLO$E-UP

LOS ANGELES – Robynn Newton was just an aspiring actress until she grabbed a starring role in the California lottery this week – as winner of half the $99 million jackpot.

Now the new millionaire is getting ready for a lot of close-ups – and is even planning to start her own production company.

What a difference $26.3 million makes! That’s the lump-sum payment (before taxes) that Newton, 29, chose to take as a winner of Wednesday’s SuperLotto Plus.
