Winning Mega Millions Ticket Sold in Queens

MYFOXNY.COM - A Jamaica, Queens, convenience store is selling lottery tickets like crazy after news spread that the winning $133 million Mega Millions ticket was sold there.

"Oh I'm very happy! I'm so excited," said Bharat Kumar Patel, the manager of Shiv Convenience on Hillside Avenue. "This morning the lottery office called me and said the winning ticket was sold in your store."

The place has been packed all day. The excitement has been building and it peaked around mid-afternoon when they thought they found the winner -- and she lives just around the corner. But the woman says she is not the winner -- even though she says she spent more than $100 on tickets.

The winner could be from anywhere because a bus stop and subway are right next to the store.

In an instant, the American dream came true for someone. Who? The New York State Lottery says the winner has not yet come forward.

Now everyone is dreaming.
