Doorman wins $5 million, wants apartment in his building


A New York doorman who struck it rich when he won a state lottery is still about $5 million short of being able to buy a home in the Park Avenue building where he works, a newspaper said on Thursday.

(Reuters Life!) -- Richie Randazzo, a 44-year-old bachelor who lives in a two-story Brooklyn home, won $5 million in a scratch-card lottery. He plans to continue working and wants to move into the luxury building where he opens the door and hails taxis for residents.

But the only apartment for sale in the Upper East Side cooperative is an 11-room apartment with an asking price of $9.95 million.

"After I hit the next lottery, I'll buy that one," Randazzo was quoted saying in the New York Post newspaper.

Randazzo bought a $10 instant lottery ticket, which pays $5,000 a week for life with a minimum guarantee of $5 million, the newspaper said.

Listing: 1021 Park Avenue
