RoadSnacks says it has figured out which towns have the best lotto winning luck.
Have you ever wondered which Long Island towns have the best luck when it comes to winning the lotto?
Well, even if you haven’t, RoadSnacks says it has figured it out. The “infotainment” website says it has determined the luckiest towns in New York based on population numbers and winning New York Lottery results. Four Long Island towns made the list of the 10 luckiest in New York, with New Hyde Park coming in at No. 1.
“Statistically, you have a 1 in 2,125 chance of hitting a $25,000 or more payout here every year,” RoadSnacks says about New Hyde Park. Of course, that’s only if you actually play the lotto.
