See what a great ending. Not like that lady who had lupus, a broke down

Always look out for your little sister.

Even or especially when you've just won $3 million in the lottery.

That's the approach Lia Gentile took after winning the top prize in the New York Lottery's Money, Money, Money game with a ticket she purchased last month in a B-Kwik Mart on Seneca Street.

Gentile, 44, of Buffalo, will keep half the jackpot.
