A Queens, New York man claimed a $3.4 million Connecticut Lottery Lotto! jackpot from a ticket sold in Old Greenwich, according to Greenwich Patch.

The winner, Bernard Binaparte, matched all six numbers in the Friday, June 12 Lotto! drawing. Patch reported that the winning ticket was bought at the Gulf gas station at 1324 East Putnam Avenue in Old Greenwich.

The story has a fun sports hook: Binaparte tied the moment to the New York Knicks championship run and claimed the prize at Connecticut Lottery headquarters in Wallingford. He also told the lottery he planned to buy a house and move somewhere warmer.

The retailer context is useful too. Patch reported that the Old Greenwich Gulf station had recently sold several other notable winning tickets, including a $25,000 scratch-game winner and earlier large scratch prizes. That does not make a retailer predictive, but it explains why local readers may recognize the location.

For PWN readers, this is a draw-game jackpot story, not a number-picking proof point. The best next step is to compare it with current lottery results and remember that past retailer wins do not change the odds of a future ticket.
