a store<\/a> in Brooklyn’s Homecrest neighborhood, hopes the next big winner walks through his doors.<\/p>\nThe jackpot was up to $20 million on Saturday, which sent hopeful players back to Patel\u2019s store to try their luck.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a lucky store,\u201d Patel said.<\/p>\n
For regular player Jose Gonsalez, however, the luck hasn\u2019t quite arrived yet. He says he spent $20 on the latest drawing but his numbers didn\u2019t hit.<\/p>\n
\u201cI played that day…I played $20 but my numbers wasn\u2019t the one that won,\u201d Gonsalez said.<\/p>\n
Then there\u2019s Roxane Eskenazi, who said she\u2019s won about $500 at the store a few times.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s so loyal to the location, she said she\u2019ll walk 20 blocks just to buy a ticket there.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have other places you could play but for some reason, I like to play there,\u201d Eskenazi said.<\/p>\n
Patel said the biggest prize ever sold at the store was a $5 million scratch-off ticket in 2013.<\/p>\n
He said he still hasn\u2019t heard from the winners of this week\u2019s $50,000 tickets.<\/p>\n
He also hopes the store\u2019s biggest winner yet brings him some luck as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope the customer comes back and takes care of me,\u201d Patel said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Brooklyn lottery store hoped its hot streak continued on Saturday after it sold three $50,000 Powerball tickets…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322394,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-322393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
