Small N.Y. store sells lots of winning lottery ticketsNews Story
It's called Broadway News, but the Money Store might be a better name. New York State Lottery money falls like thousand-dollar bills from heaven at the newsstand at 352 Broadway in Newburgh. Since 2002, 154 people have won $1,000 or more at the store. That's nearly twice as many as the next store with the most winners in Ulster, Sullivan and Orange counties, a Sunday Record analysis found. The Quick Mart at 515 Broadway sells nearly as many tickets but had just 81 winners in the same time.

Massachusetts man pleads guilty in lottery tax fraud schemeReply
Law enforcement authorities alleged he used a 10-percenting ploy to become the nation's top lottery winner. It looks like the enforcement people or whomever wrote this article never heard of ten percenters that are usually found at race tracks. But maybe because they never heard of one declaring to be a professional gambler to avoid paying taxes. From at least 2013 through 2015, store owners Kinslieh and Patel purchased winning lottery tickets from the ticket holders for cash at a discount

Illinois Lottery glitch causes trouble for retailers, including overpayment to winnersReply
I buy my tickets at a gas station run by Mr Patel. He has two and sometimes three people at the counter, and is one of the most devoted Illinois lottery ticket sellers one can ever find. He literally has one clerk devoted to the lottery machine at any time The other day he threw his hands up in frustration at how slow the new online ticket terminals are. Printing Pick 3 and pick 4 tickets takes 4x longer under Camelot and the new machines than it used to. Many times a customer will dutifully

Thank you for the good lucks! lol... The reactions from a few of the store owners/managers was amusing. The best was the owner of Niki Food store. The mother was there, and she seemed to think I was off my rocker. lol. Very nice woman though! I also felt like a bit of a celeb. when I went to AK Kwik this time around. A younger guy was there, along with the older Patel. Mr.Patel remembered me, but it was the first time meeting the younger guy. About 5 min into our talk he says Are you Adam?, the

At least two charged in scheme to manipulate Connecticut Lottery gameReply
Stack, I'm still waiting for you to tell me how many chips (actually they are cheques) a $200 buy in got the player in a Faro game and how much each one was worth. And by the way, Palace Station used to be the Bingo Palace but I guess you wouldn't know that never having lived in Vegas. I'll play, you really ought to put your habit of highlighting other people's comments in blue just so you can make your own snide remarks on hold. As for the remark about the name Patel being involved

16 N.Y. biotech workers claim $58M Mega Millions jackpotReply
Congrats to the lucky 16 winners. Might they be LP players since they seem to like the idea of wearing hats and glasses as a disguise? Great to see 8 winners from NJ here as well, not to mention Jay Patel from East Brunswick NJ who is the manager at Carlton Cards. The pool was a good size, the $4.00 price kept the cheap skates out, and different people bought the tickets week from week. Lots of participation from the members. Sure do miss those lottery pools at work.
