New York man claims $3 million lottery prize

New York Lottery New York Lottery: New York man claims $3 million lottery prize

Wouldn't it be great if one day you found out you were a millionaire and you had no clue?  That's what happened to one Rochester man after he won more than a million bucks.

The next day I went to the store and the girl was like you win the lotto last night how you know. Let me see your ticket, so I showed her the ticket to find out if I had the winning number. Yup didn't know I won, said Willie Alston.

Alston got the luck of the draw. He paid for one lottery ticket, but the machine ended up giving him two. The store clerk told Alston to keep both tickets and one turned out very lucky. $3 million lucky in the New York State Lottery.

Alston took the lump sum and now gets $1.5 million.

He is a retired Kodak worker and says he has no plans yet on how he will spend his fortune but he does want to pay for his six grandchildren to go to college.

yeah. that's BS how new york doesn't give out bonuses for the winning stores.

I've redone my website.  Go to www.dr-ew.com.  I kept a lot of the old stuff, and I've added some new stuff.  Look for more new stuff in the coming weeks.
