Notorious sex offender wins $10 million lottery
The Associated Press
BOSTON — A man listed as one of the state’s most dangerous sex offenders has won $10 million in the Massachusetts lottery, but the attention may have landed him in new trouble.
Daniel Snay had been living and working in Massachusetts since 2004. In January, he paid $20 for a “Billion Dollar Blockbuster” scratch ticket at a suburban convenience store and hit the jackpot.
He picked up the first of 20 annual checks for $500,000 on Jan. 30. And the Massachusetts Lottery Commission said he gambled legally. But his story caught the attention of police in neighboring Connecticut, where Snay had lived for several years and where, officials said, he never informed authorities he was moving out of state.
Connecticut Trooper William Tate said Snay could face up to five years in prison if convicted of failing to notify authorities of his change of address, a felony. He said Snay hadn’t confirmed his address for the Connecticut sex offender registry since May 2004. |
