Bodega’s lotto-heist woe








He’s in a lotto trouble.

A Brooklyn bodega owner said yesterday that he may lose his business after three gunmen swiped more than $50,000 from the shop’s safe — including cash he owed the state Lottery.

Mohammad Choudry told The Post the safe held $37,104 in proceeds due to the state and $16,531 in his own profits when it was looted on Nov. 4.

A Lottery rep came to Bayside Conveniency in Gravesend the next day demanding payment — then shut down the store’s Lotto machines when he heard the money was gone.

“We don’t even have a penny for the rent at home, or the rent at the store, and my boss has five kids, two in college and three in high school,” the clerk said.



The rep allegedly refused to work with the store on a payment plan.

The Lottery in Albany did not return a call for comment.
