Jeri Buonincontra Won $2.3 million in CT Lottery's Classic Lotto Game. He doesn't have any immediate plans for the money except for one thing - He's engaged and he wants to buy his fiancee the wedding of her dreams. What a sweet guy! Actually he sounds like a nice guy. When he called his fiancee the morning after he found out that he won, he started to cry after he told her the news.
Actually, Jeri Buonincontra shouldn't have even won the lottery. See, all the numbers that he chose had some significance to him, except for one number. Jeri was supposed to pick number 7, but he ticked off number 8, accidentally. The numbers for the May 12, 2009 Classic Lotto draw that Jeri won on were 8 – 14 – 23 – 25 – 27 – 35. Had he taken number 7, he wouldn't have won the jackpot. I guess he's just a lucky guy.
At the time of his win, Jeri Buonincontra was 26 years old, living in Stratford, Connecticut, and worked as an airplane mechanic.
The winning ticket was purchased at Citgo Mart, on New Haven Avenue in Derby, Connecticut. The retailer that sold the winning ticket received a $10,000 bonus.
