4. Richie Randazzo won 5 million dollars in lottery - When 44-year-old doorman Richie Randazzo won 5 million dollars in the lottery in June, he figured he might as well keep dreaming big. He is living a high life.

 

5. The Scofflaw King

 

In December, The Post introduced Alexander Khamish, a 30-year-old insurance broker who was wracked up over 80,000 dollars in parking tickets. Khamish denies that he is New York's scofflaw king, claiming his identity has been stolen.

 

6. The Eliot Spitzer hooker scandal
