Where to go to be in it to win it

All you need is a dollar and a dream - and to buy your lottery ticket in Queens.

Five stores in Queens were among the Top 10 to dole out the largest amounts of cash to bettors who bought lottery tickets and scratch-off cards in the city over the past three years, officials said.

Taking the top spot as the luckiest location in the city to buy tickets is The Magazine Store on 31st Street in Astoria.

Not at all surprised. Considering the element that patronizes this stuff, you have a pretty clear indication of who now lives in Queens.

Those poor suckers throw millions away in gambling.

Spend a good 20 minutes in a 7-11 and see how many people buy lottery tix or scratch offs.
