Lotto jackpot rolls over to $6 million

TALLAHASSEE -- No ticket matched all six Florida Lotto numbers, meaning Saturday's jackpot will be worth an estimated $6 million, lottery officials said Thursday.

A total of 45 tickets matched five numbers to win $5,800.50; 2,793 tickets matched four numbers for $75.50; and 58,667 tickets matched three numbers for $5.

MEGA MILLIONS POOL PALS SUE CO-WORKER FOR LOTTO 'LARCENY'

April 21, 2005 -- A Manhattan judge has frozen the lottery winnings of a man his colleagues claim is a lotto louse.

John Piccolo won $175,000 playing Mega Millions last November — with a ticket his co-workers at Mount Sinai Hospital say came from their office pool.

"Lo and behold, he got amnesia after they got the winning ticket," said lawyer Joey Jackson, who's representing Veronica Edmondson, Denise Beaulieu and Joan Pitcan in their suit against Piccolo, their colleague and former friend.

Piccolo's lawyer, Michael Weiss, says his client didn't forget anything. He bought the winning ticket with his own money from a store near his Queens home.

Edmondson said she found out about the win when Piccolo called to say "something came up" and he'd be late for work. "I just won the Mega Million second prize for $175,000," Edmondson quoted Piccolo as saying in court papers. "Hardly able to contain my excitement, I exclaimed, 'We won, John!!!' " Edmondson said.

"No," he replied, "I won."

Edmondson told The Post she was "floored." She said they'd won $3 the previous week, which Piccolo was supposed to use to buy tickets for the next drawing. But, he told her, "I didn't play with the group's or office pool's $3, I played with my own $3."

Justice Marylin Diamond found the co-workers' claims "more credible," and ordered the $81,000 in winnings Piccolo has left to be frozen until the case goes to trial.
