LaGrangeville Named the Jackpot Capital of New York
LaGrangeville Named the Jackpot Capital of New York
LaGrangeville, New York has been named the Jackpot Capital of Pennsylvania. LuckyLotto, an online lottery website, found in its study that LaGrangeville has more Jackpot winners per capita than any other city in 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’s Liberty’s Millions scratch-off game.
More recently, in May of 2008 sixty-five year-old William Rao of Hopewell Junction won $1,000,000. Rao, who stopped in for a cup of coffee decided to buy a scratch ticket. Rao left the gas station with a cup of coffee and a $500,000,000 Extravaganza scratch-off lottery ticket worth $1,000,000.
Rao, who initially thought he had won $1,000 was elated when he saw the extra zeros and realized that he had actually won $1 million. Rao purchased his winning ticket on May 15, 2008 and claimed it at the Lottery’s Fishkill Customer Service Center on May 21, 2008. It is unlikely for a town as small as LaGrangeville to have even one jackpot winner, but to have three in less than 10 years, and 2 in the same year is unheard of! LaGrangeville must have four-leaf clovers growing up like weeds.
Anthony Galioto, who works in LaGrangeville, says he still tries to buy lottery tickets when he can but says, “I doubt I would hit until I turn about 85!” Anthony is evidence that there are still people in LaGrangeville who have not yet won the lottery, but it seems to me that there is no better place to try.
Even though there are still people in LaGrangeville who have not yet won the jackpot, their lottery success certainly warrants an award. Because of this amazing streak of luck, Lucky Lotto is pleased to name LaGrangeville the “Jackpot Capital of New York.”
Recent reports indicate that LaGrangeville lottery players may soon have another lottery option-the sale of online lottery tickets. New York recently allowed the cross sales of both Powerball and Mega Millions in an attempt to bolster flagging ticket sales and state lottery officials believe the ability of players to buy online lottery tickets could boost sales considerably.
Casino Tax Rebates
Casino tax rebates can be in your fingers in only a few weeks. Did you visit the United States and gamble, win money and have some withheld? Do you want your money back? Are you a citizen of another country, and not of the United States? If you answered yes to these questions, you may be eligible to get up to 30% of your casino tax rebates back within a few weeks.
Our company offers you the opportunity to get casino tax rebates. This is a completely legal process that deals with the IRS and many other government agencies, on your behalf. There are hundreds of people that sit for hours on the phone with the IRS and still get no answers and no satisfaction. If you live in and are a citizen of a country other than the United States, have a valid government issued identification card and won money while gambling in the United States, you can get casino tax rebates in most cases. Casino tax rebates are the amount of money that was withheld from your winnings, before they were even handed to you. Remember when you won the money, an attendant asked you about your citizenship? When he or she reported back to the cashier with this information since you are not a United States citizen, there was 30% of your money withheld for the IRS withholding tax. Why should you have to pay taxes in the United States when you dont live there?
Any winnings of more than $600 from a lottery have the 30% withholding tax taken out. Any winnings in the US of more than $1,200 from bingo or slot machines will also have that withholding tax taken out. If you won more than $1,500 from keno or more than $600 from dog races, horse races or jai alai or won any money from poker, we can help. The fact that your citizenship alone causes you to have to pay a tax is ludicrous. Our company thinks that you should be able to keep all of your winnings in your pocket. Therefore, we offer casino tax rebates. Casino tax rebates are simply getting you back the money that was kept from you in withholding taxes.
Our company will require up to 8 weeks to get an ITIN number for you from the IRS. If you already have an ITIN number, this cuts your waiting time down by half. After the ITIN number is received, we fill out the necessary paperwork on your behalf and send it to the requiring agencies. It can take up to a total of an additional 8 weeks to get your check, but on average our customers see their money within 3 weeks. Once you get your check in the mail, we are notified either by you or by the IRS that your money has arrived. We will then send out an invoice that must be paid immediately. We wait for you to get paid before we ever ask for our fee. There are no hidden fees or stipulations, this is as easy as it gets.
