Resident Wins Share of $1 Million Lottery

Five workers from the Wantagh Professional Building split a $1 million New York Lottery Powerball Power Play prize that they collected earlier this month, including a woman from West Islip. 

The five winners work in a variety of legal and property management companies in the office building located on 2079 Wantagh Ave. The winners include Lillian Katz, 41, of West Islip, Ronelle Devine, 50, of Bohemia, Joann Malec, 69, of Deer Park, Lisa DeMase, 54, of Massapequa and Laurie Kentner, 45, of Levittown.

New York Lottery officials said caring for children and making some much needed home improvements top the list of plans for the five winners who regularly pool their money to buy lottery tickets.
