BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - A 22-year old bar manager is Buffalo's newest millionaire.
Buffalo native Lareecea Love got her lucky break with a ticket she
bought at Pikes Peak Market on Fillmore Avenue on March 12.
She scratched off the million dollar jackpot on the New York
Lottery's Triple Diamonds game. She currently works at Lee's lounge
on Fillmore Avenue.
She always had big dreams of owning her own home and opening
a bar and restaurant or her own. Now those dreams can come true.
Lareecea will collect her prize as a 20 year annuity, which
means she gets just over $34,000 a year after taxes.
