LaGrangeville Named the Jackpot Capital of New York
Located in the southeast part of LaGrange, New York, LaGrangeville has now been dubbed the Jackpot Capital of New York.
This comes as a surprise to Christopher James Bell, a filmmaker from LaGrangeville. “I didn’t know that LaGrangeville was the lottery capital of the world, says Bell. According to Bell, LaGrangeville is a really nice play to grow up, but there isn’t much to do. “Maybe there’s something supernatural going on,” he says, “or maybe there’s so much nothing to do that people just scratch cards and pencil in numbers all day out of boredom.”
LuckyLotto, an online lottery website specializing in lottery news and information conducted a study of the lottery in New York that yielded some interesting results. LuckyLotto reported that LaGrangeville, in Dutchess County New York, has had more Jackpot winners per capita than any other city in New York.
According to the official New York lottery website, LaGrangeville, a hamlet of the Town of LaGrange with a population of under 9,000, is home to 3 Lottery Jackpot winners since 2001. LaGrangeville just might be the luckiest town in the US.
LaGrangeville is home to two recent Lottery Millionaires. In 2001, Gertrude Scaccia and her sister Nancy, of Hopewell Junction, split an $18,000,000 Lotto Jackpot. In February of 2008, Anna Marie and Steven Cuomo claimed their $1,000,000 Jackpot. Anna Marie and Steven won the top prize on the Lottery
