77-year-old Al Nanni has just become the fifth New York Lotto millionaire from Onondaga County in two months! The Fayetteville resident hit the million-dollar jackpot last week on a New York Lotto Emerald 8’s instant scratch-off game. The ticket, which cost him $5, was purchased at DeWitt Wegman’s, where Nanni goes every day “to shop and play [his] daily numbers”. The septuagenarian came up with a slogan which he shared at his award ceremony this week: “No scratch, no cash!”

 Gretchen Dizer, a New York Lotto representative, is set to present to lucky New York lotto prize winners with their huge checks this week. One winner, a licensed practical nurse from Greece will claim his million-dollar New York Poker prize, which he won on Friday, August 13th. The other is a property manager from Rochester who also scored a cool million in the New York Lotto’s Big Money instant scratcher game. The event is set to be held at the Wilson Farms store, where the winning New York Poker ticket was sold.

Buffalo, New York has sure had its share of luck this month. A couple of lucky instant scratcher game tickets made not one, but TWO Buffalo women millionaires! Kelly Murphy, of Delevan, won a whopping $3 million prize on a Platinum Payout ticket given to her as a birthday present by her daughter and son-in-law. She received other tickets as well, on which she won about $129. Talk about a great birthday gift! And just a day after, Loreen Brigman - from Sloan- scored a cool million dollars on a Millionaire Madness ticket she bought after doing the groceries. Congratulations to the lucky ladies!
