Lightning protection company employee experiences a hit of his own The odds of being hit by lightning are 576,000 to one, while the chance to win the CT Lottery’s Classic Lotto jackpot are more than 12 times greater, at 7.1 million to 1. Yet, for Torrington resident Jim Seitz, who is employed in the lightning protection industry, winning the March 18 Lotto jackpot worth $5,511,009 was a jolt he didn't mind experiencing.
Connecticut’s Newest Millionaires, Jim and Jean Seitz, today claimed the Classic Lotto jackpot they won, at Connecticut Lottery headquarters in New Britain. Their ticket was the only one sold statewide that had the jackpot winning combination for that night’s Lotto drawing. It’s a matter of habit for Jim Seitz to stop by the Winsted Road Mobil Station in South Torrington each Tuesday and Friday before the game’s drawing, and then to check the numbers on his ticket in the next day’s news. Jim noticed the first number on his Quick Pick Lotto ticket was a match. The second number matched as well. And, the third. Seeing a fourth number match, Jim was pleased, thinking he'd won a prize of around $40. It was then that he realized that all six numbers on his ticket matched those in the paper, and the jackpot win was his. Jim and Jean relied on the Connecticut Lottery’s web site to check their numbers again, against the results shown there. About a dozen times, Jim joked when asked about verifying the numbers. Searching the site, they located information about steps to take if you're a winner, which includes encouraging winners to seek professional legal and financial planning advice.
That advice helped the Seitz’s to determine a one-time cash lump sum payment, rather than a 21-year annuity option, would most suit their long-term financial needs and goals. The jackpot’s lump sum value was $3,400,807. Federal and state taxes (25% and 5% respectively) brought the net amount of their prize to $2,380,568. We are pleased that, like the vast majority of our jackpot winners, Jim and Jean have taken a thoughtful approach to planning for their future. We applaud their actions, and wish them all the best as they venture into this new phase of their lives, noted Anne M. Noble, President and CEO of the Lottery.

Robert Casillas doesn't check his tickets right away; in fact, he usually waits until he has a stack of about 30 or 40 before he goes to a store to have them scanned. His winning Quick Pick ticket from The Pick drawing on March 15 was no exception. He didn't check it until Saturday, July 1. This winning jackpot ticket was just one of over 30 tickets Robert took to the store to be scanned. The clerk returned the ticket to him with a slip explaining that the store couldn't cash it because it was more money than they were allowed to pay out and that he would have to go to the Arizona Lottery office. No one knew the amount, but his wife, Carmen knew that the store could only cash tickets for around $500, so she thought it was probably worth about $600.
When they got home, Robert immediately went online to the Arizona Lottery web site and checked the numbers on his ticket and was convinced it was a jackpot and it was for real. However, his wife, Carmen, didn't really believe it was a jackpot as most of their previous wins had ranged from $2 to $50, and told him Don't get your hopes up.

Robert is a retired land surveyor and Carmen works as an electrical technician at a manufacturing plant. They both enjoy spending time with their family, especially their grandson. When asked what plans they have for their winnings, they both said, We plan to invest it for ourselves and our family’s future.’ The Arizona Lottery wishes the Casillas family good health and continued good fortune.

All for One and One for All: 10 members of a pool of 11 friends came to the Arizona Lottery office to claim their winnings. They arrived with pomp and circumstance in a chauffer-driven black limousine. When the group was asked, Why the limo? they replied, We always wanted to ride in one. In addition, from the sound of their excitement, it obviously was easier and much more fun to come to the Arizona Powerball Lotto together This group of 11 winners has been friends for more than 15 years, but has only been playing the Lottery as a pool for a year and a half. They each put in $5 per Powerball draw. Susie Brewer, the leader of the gang, purchased 55 tickets. Sometime after 11 p.m. Saturday, she called the Arizona Lottery Hotline, heard the numbers, but thought it was a mistake. She had a couple of other friends check, but no one really believed it. On Sunday morning, after rechecking the numbers several times, at 5 a.m., Susie began making calls to everyone in the group. Most of them were half-asleep they either woke up right away or went back to sleep and then woke up later thinking they had dreamt the whole thing. Once the entire group knew they had purchased a winning ticket, everyone in their immediate world knew: friends, family, and the entire Moose Lodge.
Each Arizona Lotto pool member has a different idea as to how to use the winnings. For example, Eric Henshaw may take a trip to Virginia for a Marine Corps Reunion; Mary and Bud Goetz plan to pay off their car; Richard Flamini plans to just enjoy it; Paul Zehringer is going to put his winnings into his IRA.

An anonymous winner who purchased just one ticket took home the RAFFLE’s quarter-million-dollar top prize (minus Federal withholding taxes), while five separate $25,000 first prizes were won by two friends from Wilmington and Rising Sun, eight New Castle county coworkers, a 42-year-old Elkton, Md., man, a Newark woman who only plays the RAFFLE, and one anonymous winner. The Delaware Lottery also introduced HOT LOTTO® in January. A Lotto-style game with guaranteed estimated annuity jackpots of at least $1 million, ticket sales for the $1 game began Jan. 28 around the First State, and the first drawing was held Jan. 30.
Dover, DE The Delaware Lottery today introduced HOT LOTTO , a new Lotto-style game with guaranteed estimated annuity jackpots of at least $1 million. Already popular in 12 states and the District of Columbia, tickets sales for the $1 game begin today across the First State, and the first drawing will be held Jan. 30. The estimated annuity jackpot for the Jan. 30 drawing is $4.7 million.
While similar to Powerball and Multi-Win Lotto, HOT LOTTO players select five white ball numbers from 1 to 39 and one orange Hot Ball number from 1 to 19. A $1 Sizzler option (like the Powerball Power Play) gives gamers a chance to automatically triple lower-tier prizes. "Delaware, like many smaller states, has a demand for a Lotto game on par with the jackpots offered by larger state lotteries," said Wayne Lemons, Delaware Lottery Director. "We've heard the call for a game with larger top-prizes than Multi-Win Lotto and better odds than Powerball . HOT LOTTO fills this niche and offers players a better shot to take home estimated annuity prizes in the $1 million to $20 million range." Odds of winning the HOT LOTTO jackpot are one in nearly 11 million, while the odds of winning the top Powerball prize are one in 146 million. Drawings for the multi-state game are held twice a week on Wednesday and Saturday nights. Players can purchase a multi-draw ticket for up to 10 draws at a time. Jackpots begin at an estimated annuity of $1 million and increase by at least $50,000 per drawing until a winning number is drawn. To win the jackpot, players must match all five numbers and the Hot Ball. Matching five numbers but not the Hot Ball wins $10,000 and matching four numbers and the Hot Ball wins $500. Any time a player matches the Hot Ball they win $2 with other prizes ranging between $3 and $50. Player instructions and overall odds are available at www.delottery.com. The jackpot prize can be paid out either as a 24 year, 25-payment annuity, or as a single lump sum in cash. The two biggest jackpots for HOT LOTTO were both in 2007, one worth $19.9 million in January and another worth $12.9 million in July.
Junction City Resident Wins $22,000 2by2 Prize TOPEKA, KAN. While at home last Wednesday evening, Michael Edmonson remembered he hadn't purchased his daily 2by2 ticket. The Junction City resident decided to drive to the nearest convenience store where he purchased a 2by2 ticket for that night’s drawing. Much to his disbelief, he matched both red numbers and both white numbers, winning a $22,000 top prize in the March 26 drawing.
My wife Jamee and I play Kansas lottery games every day, said Edmonson. Thursday afternoon, she took our 2by2 ticket back to the store where we purchased it and had it checked. She couldn't believe it when she realized we'd won $22,000. According to Edmonson, his wife called him while he was at work with the good news, but he didn’t believe her. When she called, she said, ‘Our ticket won,’ smiled Edmonson. I was shocked, so I didn’t believe her. I told her when I got home I'd take the ticket to another store and have it checked again before I was going to believe it.
After taking the Kansas Lotto ticket to another store and having it verified for the second time, the couple finally believed it was real. Edmonson and his wife, who have been married 10 years, have three children. They plan to use their prize money to pay off bills. The winning Kansas Lotto ticket was purchased at Shop Quik 2, located on 6th St., in Junction City,KS.
03/11/08 TOPEKA, KAN. Last Wednesday night, Kelly Waite couldn't believe what she was seeing as she watched the Kansas Lotto Powerball numbers being drawn on a local television station. The Lenexa resident purchased three $1 Quick Pick Powerball tickets for that night’s drawing and matched four of the first five numbers plus the Powerball, winning a $10,000 cash prize on one of those tickets. I hardly ever buy Powerball tickets, explained Waite. I work a lot of hours as a nurse and always forget to buy tickets. In fact, when I stopped at the store Wednesday evening, I had already purchased my items and was out the door when I realized it was Wednesday. I reached into my pocket and had three extra dollars. I went back into the store and bought three tickets.
According to Waite, she seldom remembers to check her tickets either. She and her fiancee Jack just happened to be watching a television station that airs the Powerball drawing. It was surreal watching my numbers come up, smiled Waite. I couldn't believe I was one number away from winning millions! I hate to sound greedy, but only one number! We had our TiVo DVR recorder on and we were able to freeze the TV screen on the winning numbers. We sat there for over an hour just staring. Waite, who has two school-age sons, plans to use her prize money towards a new car. I'm getting a personalized tag that will read, ‘One number,’ smiled Waite. The winning ticket was purchased at Country Hill 66, located at 15855 W. 87th St. Pkwy., in Lenexa.
TOPEKA, KAN. A night shift worker at Exide Technologies in Salina who buys lottery tickets every pay day has seen his habit pay off, in a big way! Luis Manuel Cabral, 50, of Salina came to Lottery headquarters today with a $2 Bonus Crossword ticket in hand, to claim a top prize of $20,000 on the game.
I bought three Bonus Crossword tickets yesterday, like I do every Thursday, Cabral said. I scratched them while I was still in the store, also like I always do, but this time I won like I've never won before! Cabral said after realizing he had probably won $20,000, he became very nervous. Not only did he have the store verify his win, he had his wife and his son check the ticket, too, and he called the Lottery office.
I wanted to be sure before we drove to Topeka, Cabral said. Cabral and his wife Teresa moved to Salina from California 13 years ago. They have two sons, 28 and 23, and a 16-year-old daughter. The Cabrals plan to use their prize money primarily to pay off credit card bills, but Luis Cabral said he also intends to use the money to make a small gift from the heart. We know people who are taking their baby to Kansas City every week to fix problems with the baby’s feet, he said. We want to help them out a little bit with gas money. Luis Manuel Cabral purchased his lucky Bonus Crossword ticket at Prime Time Stores 123, located at 100 N. Broadway in Salina.
GREAT BEND, KAN. Mickie Portenier, 26, of Dodge City said her eight-year-old daughter had a question for her today. Are we getting some new stuff, Mom? the eight-year-old asked her mother. They very well may be. Portenier claimed a $21,000 prize today at the Lottery’s Great Bend office. The mother of four won the prize playing a $2 Super Blackjack instant scratch ticket.
I bought the ticket yesterday and scratched it in my car, Portenier said. I thought I'd won $21,000, but I went back into the store to have them check it for me, just in case. They checked it and confirmed that it was a winner. The big winner said she only plays lottery games occasionally, so the win was quite a surprise. I guess it was just the luck of the draw, she said happily. Portenier, works at National Beef Packing in Dodge City. Her lucky lottery ticket was bought at the JT Conoco, located at 609 S. Second Ave. in Dodge City.

Louisiana Lottery FAQS
How long do you have to claim a Louisiana Lottery prize?
Winning scratch-off Louisiana Lottery tickets can be claimed up to 90 days following the closure of the game. Click here for a list of closed games and end-of-redemption dates. Winning draw-style game tickets can be claimed up to 180 days following the drawing.
What happens to unclaimed prizes in the Louisiana Lottery ?
Unclaimed Louisiana Lottery prize money is returned to players in the form of increased pay outs on scratch-off tickets or second-chance promotions.
When do you remove a scratch-off game from sale?
As soon as all of the top prizes in a game have been claimed, the Lottery immediately begins the process of pulling the game from retailer shelves and closing the game. Games may also be closed when all of the tickets have been substantially sold or at the discretion of the Lottery's president.
How are Louisiana Lottery winners taxed?
Both the federal and state government consider winnings from all forms of gaming to be income for tax purposes. By law, the Louisiana Lottery must report winnings from each single ticket with a prize value over $600 to the Internal Revenue Service and the Louisiana Department of Revenue and Taxation.
Income tax regulations require the Louisiana Lottery to withhold 25 percent federal taxes from each prize over $5,000 and 5 percent state taxes from prizes of $5,000 or more. A gambling income statement, W2-G, is mailed to the claimant by the end of January in the calendar year following the payment of the prize. The W2-G is mailed to the address entered on the claim form unless the Lottery is notified of an address change before the W2-G is issued.
If I think I've won the Louisiana Lottery jackpot, what should I do?
Players who believe they hold a winning Louisiana Lottery jackpot ticket must bring the ticket to the Lottery's corporate headquarters in Baton Rouge for verification and any prize payment. The Lottery recommends that before coming to claim a jackpot prize, winners get financial advice so they fully understand the tax or other legal implications involved. We also recommend that jackpot winners contact the Lottery's headquarters immediately at 800-735-5825 to schedule a time to claim their prize and so that we can answer any questions they may have. This facilitates a smooth payment of a winning jackpot ticket. In the meantime, we recommend that winners secure their ticket and treat it as cash. Winners may choose to sign the back of their ticket in the event it is lost or stolen.
How long does a Louisiana Lottery Powerball jackpot winner have to decide whether to take the annuity or the cash option for the jackpot?
Winners have 60 days after they claim their prize to elect either the annuity or cash payment option.
If I win, can I remain anonymous?
If you win more than $600 and are therefore required to claim your prize at a Lottery office, you will be required to complete a claim form for tax purposes. Under the Lottery's statue, all prize payment records are open records, meaning that the public has a right to request the information. Depending upon the amount won and public or media interest in the win, winners may NOT be able to remain anonymous. The statute also allows the Lottery to use winners' names and city of residence for publicity purposes such as news releases. The Lottery's regular practice is not to use winner information in paid advertising or product promotion without the winner's willingness to participate.
I purchased four scratch-offs where the odds were 1 in 4. I didn't win anything. Why is that?
Published game odds apply to the entire game overall. They do not mean, in this case, that every fourth ticket is a winner. Lottery games are games of chance, so winning scratch-off tickets are randomly distributed throughout the game. Just imagine what would happen to the integrity of Lottery games if it was known which tickets were winners prior to their sale.
I've been playing Pick 3 since it started and my numbers have never come up. It seems like other numbers have come more than once. How can that be?
All of the Louisiana Lottery's games are games of chance. Drawing games are conducted using random number generation. This means that every number combination has an EQUAL chance of being selected, REGARDLESS of whether or not it was drawn in the past. If number combinations that had been drawn in the past were removed from play, the game would be unfair.
Even assuming that number combinations could be eliminated, it would take 1,000 drawings, or 2.8 years, for every possible Pick 3 combination to be drawn. For Pick 4, it would take 10,000 drawings or 28 years.
How many times has a winning Louisiana Powerball jackpot ticket been sold in Louisiana?
Since joining the multi state game in March 1995, Louisiana has had a total of nine winners. Here they are:

I said, ‘You’ve got to get up and see this. You’re not going to believe it,’s recounted Miner. And she said, ‘What? Did we get two feet of snow?’
Miner plans to use the winnings to pay bills, fund a kitchen renovation and splurge on gifts for his 10 grandchildren. There’s nothing better than seeing a smile on a grandkid’s face, Miner said.

It’s a meditation, joked Miner, whose winning numbers were: 1, 5, 21, 25 and 27. Miner purchased his winning ticket at the Kwik Mart located at 20520 Hwy 72 in Golden, not far from his Wondervu home.

DENVER For one lucky local player, choosing the Power Play option in Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing really paid off. One ticket matched five numbers in the drawing a prize usually worth $200,000. Selecting the Power Play option however, multiplies a player’s winnings by whatever number the Power Play wheel lands on. In Wednesday’s drawing, the wheel hit five, turning the $200,000 ticket into a $1 million winner. Powerball players pay an extra dollar to pump up their winnings through Power Play. At the time the Powerball numbers are drawn, a wheel containing the numbers 2 through 5 is spun to determine the Power Play multiplier of the night.
Our winner proved that turning a dollar ticket into a $2 ticket really maximizes your potential prize, said Colorado Lottery Director Peggy Gordon. You can more than quadruple your money for less than what you’d pay for a latte. The winning ticket was sold at Black Forest Liquor Store in Black Forest, Colorado, north of Colorado Springs. They will receive $3,000 bonus selling the lucky ticket.

Giles County Man Wins $100,000 In Kings And Queens Game Don t tell Edwin Lafon of Pembroke that if you win the top prize in the Virginia Lottery s Kings and Queens Scratcher game, you have to act like a king. My knees were quivering, he later told Lottery officials. I thought, Im looking at this wrong.

The Virginia Lottery mystery has been solved. The question Where is that winning ticket? has finally been answered. For four months, Sushil Thapa of Winchester was in possession of a top-prize ticket in the Virginia Lottery’s Win For Life game and he didn’t know it!
We knew that someone in Winchester had hit, he told Virginia Lottery officials. We searched frantically, but didn’t find it, so we gave up. All the time, the winning ticket was tucked in a book belonging to his wife. The lotto ticket matched the first six numbers in the November 24, 2007, lottery drawing. Those winning VA lotto numbers were 4-10-11-13-31-41. He will receive $1,000 per week for the rest of his life.
When I found the VA lotto ticket, I was speechless, he said. I jumped in the air. I have no words to describe my excitement.

Kevin Branch of Chesterfield was joking when he said, I’ll be going down to the Lottery soon. He didn’t really think he would have the chance to redeem a ticket for $250,000. But just a few days after making that joke, he was on his way to the Lottery with a winning ticket. Mr. Branch matched the first five numbers in the February 22, 2008, VA Mega Millions drawing. His ticket only missed the Mega Ball number. He bought the winning ticket at E / C VA, located at 9430 Ironbridge Road in Chesterfield. He selected the numbers on his ticket using family birthdays. The winning numbers for that drawing were 7-12-13-19-22 and the Mega Ball was 10.
If he had matched that final number, Mr. Branch would have won a part of the $275 million jackpot. Nevertheless, he was one of three Virginians to win the $250,000 prize in the February 22 drawing. The other two were in Rustburg and Winchester. Mr. Branch told Lottery officials he plans to invest his winnings.
Couple Wins Lotto Big For The Third Time 02/22/08 Mark and Sue Cutlip may want to get a reserved parking spot in front of the Virginia Lottery’s Customer Service Center in Woodbridge. It’s getting to be a familiar sight to see the Spotsylvania couple collecting big lottery prizes. On February 11, 2008, they won again. This time Mr. Cutlip matched all five numbers in the Cash 5 day drawing to win $50,000. It is just the latest in a remarkable string of big wins. In April 2007, Ms. Cutlip won $52,000 in the Win For Life Game. In July 1999, she won $1,000 per week for life in the old Virginia Lottery Scratcher game Lifetime Bonus. The latest win came when Mr. Cutlip matched the five winning numbers, 3-5-6-12-15, with a ticket purchased at the Fas Mart located at 9825 Courthouse Road in Spotsylvania. The numbers were selected because they match their grandchildren’s birthdays. Cash 5 drawings are held daily at 1:59 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. The chances of matching all five numbers are 1 in 278,256.
When Eric Johnson of Roanoke realized his Cash 5 ticket had won $100,000, he didn’t say anything, but he must have had a difficult time hiding it. A friend came up to him and asked, What’s wrong with you? It’s just a crazy day, he replied.
That was an understatement. Mr. Johnson’s ticket matched all five numbers in the February 6, 2008, Cash 5 night drawing to win the top prize. He purchased the ticket at Sky Mart, located at 3902 Melrose Avenue in Roanoke. He selected his numbers, 1-3-6-9-27, with the help of his girlfriend.

February 1, 2008 I never play one play. I always play multiple times with the same numbers. That strategy worked for Thomas Zoby of Virginia Beach. He bought six tickets for the January 8, 2008, Virginia Lottery Cash 5 night drawing, all with the same five numbers – and they all won! But there was one problem. When he looked up the winning numbers on the Virginia Lottery’s Web site www.valottery.com, he read them wrong and he thought he had not won. So the tickets just sat next to his computer until he happened to go back to the store where he purchased them, Indian Lakes Food Mart at 1196 Indian Lakes Blvd. in Virginia Beach.
The clerk said, ‘I think you’re the winner,’ Mr. Zoby recalled. So I went home and checked it again. It’s a good thing he did. The six winning combinations were worth a cool $600,000. Those winning numbers were 1-4-13-14-26. Cash 5 drawings are held daily at 1:59 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. The chances of winning the $100,000 top prize are 1 in 278,256.
You’ve heard the phrase What’s in your wallet? Apparently no one asked Virginia Grainer of Richmond, because she walked around with a $100,000 Virginia Lottery ticket in her wallet for nearly a month before she realized it was a big winner. The ticket was for the December 19, 2007, Cash 5 night drawing. She bought the ticket at Varina Market, located at 4110 Darbytown Road in Richmond while she was running errands at lunchtime. When she finally checked the numbers, she excitedly told her husband, I think we did it! I think that’s us! The winning numbers were 4-9-10-31-33. She used the Easy Pick function and allowed the computer to randomly select her five numbers. Cash 5 drawings are held daily The odds of winning the $100,000 top prize are 1 in 278,256. Since 1999, all Virginia Lottery profits have been designated solely to K-12 public school

Mr. Ghosh won by matching the first five numbers and missing only the Mega Ball number. His ticket was the only one in Virginia to win $250,000, and one of just five nationwide.
He purchased the ticket at Shoppers Food, located at 6360 Seven Corners Center in Falls Church. He used the Easy Pick function, in which the computer randomly selects six numbers. Mr. Ghosh told Virginia Lottery officials he plans to invest his winnings.
Spur of the Moment Decision Brings $1 Million Willowbrook resident wins $1 million from Illinois Lottery instant ticket WILLOWBROOK, IL For Willowbrook resident Virginia Braucher, a spontaneous decision to pick up an Illinois Lottery instant ticket turned her into one of the Lottery’s newest millionaires. A retired grandmother, Braucher, 76, says she plays the Illinois lottery sporadically with the $5 and $10 instant tickets as her favorite games. She’s never won before, but the $250 Million Millionaire’s Club instant ticket just made Braucher $1 million richer.
After stopping at the gas station one day, I decided at the spur of the moment to buy an instant ticket, said Braucher. The Illinois Lottery ticket I originally wanted wasn’t in stock, so I bought two $250 Million Millionaires Club tickets. The first one wasn’t a winner, but when I saw that I won on the second one, I just kept staring at the ticket because I just couldn’t believe I won, she added. Stunned by what she saw, Braucher immediately rushed home to show her husband the ticket to make sure her eyes weren’t fooling her. When her husband confirmed that she did indeed have a winning ticket, Braucher said that they just looked at each other with amazement. The next day after Braucher told the rest of her family, they celebrated her new millionaire status by having a small party at her house. Braucher hasn’t made many plans for her winnings, but she does intend to use the money to remodel her kitchen and buy a more comfortable vehicle for her disabled husband. My son Steve also plays the Illinois lottery and he always told me that we were going to win big, said Braucher. You just never know. This can happen to anyone. If you don’t try, you can’t win! Braucher is the game’s eleventh big winner. Minuetman Citgo, located at 402 W Plainfield in Darien, IL will receive 1 percent of the top prize, or $10,000, sold the winning Illinois Lottery ticket.

CHICAGO, IL January 31, 2008 Winning big money from the Illinois Lottery is nothing new to
Jackie White of Broadview, Illinois. The 45-year-old construction worker took home a whopping $12,500 on a Pick 3 purchase just a few years ago.
But a recent purchase of the Illinois Lottery’s $250 Million Millionaire’s Club super ticket left him stunned. White purchased the ticket from a retailer inside of the Forest Park CTA train station, and to his amazement, scratched the instant Illinois Lottery ticket to find out he had just won a cool $1 million. I just couldn’t believe it. I almost had a heart attack, said White, who regularly purchases a variety of instant tickets. I know how to play this game, but when I saw that I had won the million dollars, I just didn’t think it was for real. So I took the ticket back to the store and had it scanned. That’s when the retailer told me that the ticket was indeed for real.
White, who with his wife Zelma has three children, says he will invest the money immediately but has no plans to quit his job. He also intends to continue playing the Lottery daily. His advice for winning: Just keep playing. I used to think that winning something that big wasn’t going to happen for me, but it really can happen. One thing’s for sure, if you don’t play, you’ll never win!

SCHENECTADY, NY Valentine’s Day is for lovers Lotto lovers in particular. Just ask Pablo Mogollon of Forest Hills, Queens and Oleg Soloviev of the Bath Beach/Graves End section of Brooklyn. The two strangers-turned-Lottery-Millionaires met for the first time today at the Tavern on the Green as New York Lotto officials presented each with his respective share of an $8,000,000 Lotto jackpot from the drawing held on January 30, 2008. I love Lotto, said the 54-year-old Mogollon who works as a registered nurse at Bellevue Hospital in midtown. I started playing back in nursing school for the fun of it and have been playing the same lucky numbers ever since. Mogollon spent a total of $5 on the January 30th New York Lotto drawing, choosing a mix of randomly generated Quick Pick numbers and his own set of lucky New York Lotto numbers that he also selected at random.
There is no special meaning to the numbers I chose, he said. They’re just my numbers or so I thought, he added referring to his fellow jackpot winner. Mogollon will have plenty of time to think of ways to spend his new found wealth during a month-long, pre-scheduled vacation to Peru where he plans to reunite with family and friends. Upon his return to New York, the bachelor millionaire said he plans to look for a new home and, in keeping with the spirit of the day, hinted that he may be ready to settle down. It’s not out of the question, he said.
Mogollon purchased his winning New York Lotto ticket on January 27, 2008 at BHP News on 82nd Street in Jackson Heights. He claimed it on February 5, 2008. Mogollon opted to receive his prize as a lump sum. The lump sum payment totals $2,196,506, less required tax withholdings. Mollogon’s co-jackpot winner, Oleg Soloviev of Brooklyn purchased his lucky New York Lotto ticket on January 29, 2008 at the CJ Express Deli / Grocery on Cropsey Ave. in Brooklyn. Like Mollogon, Soloviev opted for a mix of Quick Pick numbers and lucky numbers and, like his millionaire counterpart; Soloviev admits that he picked his lucky numbers out of thin air. The Belarus-born electrical contractor said he owes his good fortune to his constant companion, a Miniature Schnauzer named Bugsy.
I was walking with Bugsy and decided to stop in to get a ticket, he said. I owe it all to him. Soloviev said his plans for the money include making some much needed repairs to his home and investing wisely for his daughters. I’m looking ahead to college and weddings for both of my daughters, he said. When asked about plans for a wedding of his own in the near future Soloviev would not commit to an answer. I just want to see the money, he said. That’s what interests me right now. Soloviev opted to receive his prize as a lump sum and will receive a one-time payment of $2,196,506, less required tax withholdings.
