NEW YORK — At least one New Yorker has a plan for what he'll do if he wins the $640 million Mega Millions jackpot.
Alfredo Mora says he'll reopen the landmark Tavern on the Green restaurant. He was a bartender there for 37 years before he retired.
The 91-year-old Mora waited in line to buy tickets Friday at a newsstand at the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
Ticket buyers were converging on stores in 42 states and Washington, D.C., where Mega Millions tickets are sold. The drawing was scheduled for late Friday night in Atlanta.
Others buying tickets said that if they won they would help their families and give to charity.
Some, like 22-year-old Fatimah Kabba, were first-time lottery customers. Kabba said she bought Mega Millions tickets because "everyone else is doing it."
