New Rochelle man wins $1 million lotto
Leonard Edwards finished snaking a toilet last month when he stopped at a grocery store in Mount Vernon to pick up a couple lottery tickets. 
The self employed plumber from New Rochelle has been playing the lottery for over 30 years and little did he know that day he won $1 million.
“I couldn’t believe it,” he said today. “I got lucky. I’ve never won anything before.”
The New York State lottery presented Edwards today with his prize at The Westchester mall in White Plains. After taxes, Edwards will take home a lump sum of $660,300.
Edwards said he’ll use the money to pay off his house and whatever remainder to save for retirement. He was asked now that he won if he’ll keep playing the lottery.
“I’m not going to stop,” he said. “I hope I can get lucky again.”
Joining Edwards today was his brother Charles, officials from the state lottery and the mall and Santa Claus himself.

Seems like there was a clog in the money pipe and the government charged him $340,000 for the Roto-Roter job.
