Americans accounted for five of the winning lottery tickets in last year's international lottery. Each of the five American winners held a different number of tickets and won a different amount of money in a different month of the year (August to December). From the information given, determine the amount each person won ($1,000, $1,250, $1,500, $2,000, $2,500), the number of tickets each held (1-5), and the month in which each won. One of the winners was Mr. Buck. 1. Mr. Dollar won in September; his prize, for which he brought out the champagne, was double that of the person who won the month before him. 2. Miss Cent won her prize one month before the holder of 2 tickets, who won $2,000 and treated himself to a big shopping spree. 3. Mrs. Dime, who held one ticket, wasn't the last to win. She won twice as much money as one of the other women and bought herself a new freezer. 4. The man holding 4 tickets won in October, a good time to expand his Christmas holiday plans. 5. Ms. Penny won $250 more than the holder of 5 tickets. I'll submit my answer later.
