Some Lucky Devil in Jersey Won the Lottery for a 3rd Time


I don’t know if this news will persuade or dissuade people from playing the lottery. Philly.com reports that Steven Ontell, a retired cop from Passaic, N.J, has now won the lottery three times in the last four years. The latest and biggest payout took place on September 6th, when he won $1 million, after coming one number away from the $95 million Mega Millions jackpot. In 2012, he won $40,000 and in 2009, he won $250,000. Everytime you go and waste another dollar on a scratch-ticket, just picture this guy standing behind the counter, laughing at you. [Philly.com]
