"I kept texting him back, 'I can't call, I'm in a meeting,'" said Arbour's wife, Virginia, who was at work when he called to tell her the good news. Arbour, who plays often but had never won before, was "surprised and excited," by the win. A father to three daughters, Arbour purchased his ticket yesterday at the Mobil on Loudon Road in Latham.

	CONNECTICUT MAN SPENDS FOUR QUARTERS TO WIN A QUARTER MILLION Adrian Gjonbalaj stopped to make a purchase at Citgo Mart, located on 208 New Haven Avenue in New Haven, Connecticut. The total came to $9.50. With two extra quarters in his pocket, Adrian handed over 4 quarters for one Mega Millions “Quick Pick” and went on with his day.

Then he pulled up the winning numbers online and showed her again, his ticket, and then the winning numbers. “She’s still doesn’t believe me. She told me she’ll believe it when she see’s it,” said Adrian. “I’m taking the day off and making plans tonight with my wife to take a nice trip somewhere to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary (which is Monday, June 1).
