Her brother, Fred Burdell Jr. was the Police Chief in Braddock for many years and protected the entire Amato Operation in the East End. She also hit the lottery for $12.3 million in the early 2000's as did Sonny Ciancutti's wife Sylvia. The FBI always wondered if they knew how to rig machines. Anyhow, thought this was worth posting.

Yeah something aint right for two mob wives to hit the lotto big like that. How would they rig the machines? They had to be under high security theyd have to break in and weight the balls they want differently somehow, interesting. Could be dumb luck but I doubt it, had to know someone on the inside of the lottery. Wish there was more about this

My guess was always Pat Ferruccio due to his expert knowledge on machines. But who knows?
