Ulster County resident Donna Croshier, of Highland, has claimed her $1,000,000 top prize on the $1,000,000 Payout Bonus scratch-off ticket, the New York Lottery announced.
According to Croshier, the ticket “was a gift from my neighbor” after it was purchased at the Hannaford in Bridge View Plaza on Route 9W in Highland.
Officials said that Croshier selected to receive her million-dollar prize in a lump sum that came out to $598,920 after taxes and withholdings. They also noted that a second top prize was still outstanding and has yet to be cashed in.
“I’d like to take a vacation and then switch to part-time,” Croshier said. “I’d also like to thank my neighbor who gave me the ticket.”
