Lottery winner has history of fraud

Wednesday, July 29, 2009 posted 12:07 PM EDT

A man who claims he won two big lottery prizes has a history of fraud, The Herald News reported Tuesday.

Phillip Brunelle, 29, told the newspaper, he bought a Billion Dollar Bonaza scratch ticket early Sunday morning at the Tedeschi convenience store on East Main Street and won $1,000. He claimed he went back to the store a few hours later, bought another scratch ticket and then won $1 million.

The Massachusetts State Lottery told NBC 10 on Tuesday it hadn’t heard from Brunelle.

Brunelle was once known as Phillip Daggett, and according to the paper he has a history of fraud.

In September 2008, Brockton police charged him with making a hoax phone call about a deadly shooting.

In January 2008, he reportedly used CPR to save an infant who swallowed a small light bulb.

In November 2006, Daggett falsely claimed he became ill after eating a taco at Taco Bell.

In 2004, he filed a complaint after claiming food at a McDonalds made him sick.

Daggett was also the bartender at Puzzles Lounge in New Bedford when 18-year-old Jacob Robia attacked customers at the gay bar with a hatchet and a gun in February 2006.
