lottery

Andy and Nayel Ashkar from the Syracuse area waited a long time to become millionaires. Six years as a matter of fact.

On a rainy day, in a world full of bad news and selfish people, its always nice to see a story that makes you feel good. The more I think about this guy though, the more I wonder if we all don't have a little more work to do when it comes to being selfless.

The Albany area has has a handful of million dollar winners for 2012 and now you can add one more to that list - James Jess.  James drives over the border Vermont to North Hoosick, NY to buy his tickets and that strategy has paid off big!

Stanley Muraski who is 80 years old is smiling a lot these days. I could only imagine what he felt like when he realized that he had won five million dollars.

The multi-state Mega Millions lottery is giving away a record jackpot of at least $540 million on Friday night to anyone whose six numbers match the six balls that come up during the Mega Millions jackpot drawing. You can get more than a half-billion dollars just for having the right balls go your way (who knew you had so much in common with NBA groupies?).

Don't you dare say its not worth a buck! Albany area dreamers are crossing their fingers and toes hoping they can hit the Mega Millions drawing tonight. I hope someone local wins so we can keep the money at home, unless they move! Haha. If I won the Mega Millions I know what I would do with some of the money for sure.

I notice that the Mega Millions jackpot is, first and foremost, on our news lady's mind this morning. It's the fourth largest ever. What strategy are you using to try to win 370 million dollars? Well, first you have to have the right mindset. You have to BECOME the lottery ticket, as it were. Stick with me, here

The jackpot for Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing is only getting bigger. The big prize has reached $364 million.

A Newport, Rhode Island resident was the winner of the $336.4 million Powerball jackpot last month.

Jennifer Hauser is a producer for CNN, and she won the Georgia lottery.

Some folks may be dreaming of a white Christmas, but I am dreaming of a green one. The Mega Millions jackpot is up to $135 Million for this Friday's Drawing.

Everyone wants to get rich - and get rich quick.  Just hit the  lottery and you're on easy street.  A few dollars and you've got your dream.  But what would you do if it really happened?  Seven New York State workers made the news recently because they did it by hitting the State's Mega Millions jackpot for $319 million. They're known as the "Lucky 7". They will get to live their dreams.
