Sex offender wins $10 million lottery

UXBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 10 (UPI) -- The latest Massachusetts state lottery winner also happens to be a 56-year-old Level 3 sex offender.

Daniel Snay of Uxbridge was convicted six times of indecent assault and battery in the 1970s and 1980s, the Worcester (Mass.) Telegram & Gazette reported Sunday.

Snay bought a $20 scratch ticket Jan. 16 and won $10 million.

"I'm flabbergasted," said Connecticut State Police Lt. Paul Vance, who said Snay could face charges because he failed to verify his address or notify officials when he moved to Massachusetts in 2004.

Snay's lawyer, Joseph M. Fabbricotti, said the man is "quiet" and plans to use the bulk of his winnings to help his five grown children. Snay is classified as a Level 3 sex offender, which is considered the most dangerous, on the state's Sex Offender Registry Board.
