New York Lottery Toasts NYC Restaurant Week; Dishes Up Two New NYC Lottery Millionaires

SCHENECTADY, NY (07/29/2008; 0800)(readMedia)-- The New York Lottery is serving up some serious dough to two New York Lottery winners from Brooklyn and Queens in conjunction with NYC Restaurant Week. The two winners, a stay-at-home grandmother from (Flatbush) Brooklyn and a limo driver from (Astoria) Queens, won a collective $3,000,000 in moo-la on two different Lottery instant games.

The event will mark the New York City debut of New York Lottery Drawing Personality Gretchen Dizer.
