Million Dollars

After six years vacant, we know that the old Sears in Colonie Center will be replaced by Floor & Decor. We now know the date of the grand opening and the amazing prizes they are giving away including a chance to win a million!

On July 19th, the New York Lottery Powerball jackpot was $1.08 billion. Although there was only one winner from California who got the billion, there was an Upstate New Yorker who cashed in too.

A scratch-off from the New York Lottery sold at a local Stewarts Shop and paid off for one area resident in a big way.  The scratch-off ticket called "Make My Month" hit for a cool million bucks recently and while the resident has yet to be announced, things are about to change for one lucky Capital Region native on Wednesday.

You can get a McDonald's Big Mac for a penny this week and have a chance to win one million dollars.

A Powerball jackpot of $768.4 was won last month by a twenty four year old man in Wisconsin. Although there was only one winner of the top prize, there was also one winner in New York state of one million dollars.

There are people like me, who have a hard time spending the extra on scratch off tickets because we realize our likely hood of winning is slim. But, as they say, all you need is a dollar and a dream, right?
