A Yankee lotto is a form of multiple betting that combines 11 wagers into one bet. Unlike an accumulator, each bet in a Yankee operates independently from its siblings; thus if any one of your four selections loses it won’t ruin the whole bet; but if more than one do it will make winning considerably harder.
The New York state lottery is offering affordable housing to low-income residents of the Bronx, but some advocates contend it won’t cover rent payments. Their new development will feature 47 affordable apartments in Concourse Village near Yankee Stadium; qualifying residents must make $63,000 or less per year. That figure represents an increase from its former maximum annual income requirement of $38,100 for two-bedroom units in the area.
This week, Daddy Yankee pushed himself outside his comfort zone. While in Shanghai on his world tour, a reporter asked him to sing a song in Chinese; accepting this challenge, the Puerto Rican singer accepted and posted a video to Instagram featuring a bit of Despacito (his worldwide hit with Luis Fonsi) being performed in Chinese.
New York’s Yeekee lottery may soon open for full online sales, and an initial soft launch has already taken place for laptop and desktop computers, while mobile users can access the lottery website via an iPhone app. Unfortunately, Android phones are still missing from this equation but could become available later this summer.
No one knows exactly how many people will purchase tickets for the yeekee lottery or whether it will become popular in New York, but it could provide a viable alternative to the traditional lotto that has long been plagued by fraud and other issues; various major scandals have surfaced including one where New York lottery employees sold winning tickets for personal gain.
