A New York man turned his $20 into $5 million after picking the right scratch-off from a local grocery store.
William Ciringione,Michael Schmidt a lucky resident of Yorktown Heights, claimed the $5 million top prize on the New York Lottery's Cash X100 scratch-off game on Dec. 21.
Ciringione bought his winning ticket to 7-Eleven in Yorktown Heights. He becomes the first top-prize winner from the Cash X100 scratch-off game.
Many people who win over $1 million tend to keep it a secret to avoid being asked for money by their friends and neighbors.
Ciringione, on the other hand, didn't mind posing for a picture when he went to the New York Lottery's headquarters to claim his $5 million prize.
Ciringione received a lump sum payment of $3,255,000, which was subjected to required withholdings, resulting in a net payment of $2,604,000.
Cash X100 is a scratch-off game from the New York Lottery. Each ticket costs $20, and players can win up to $5 million in prizes.
At the time, only two top prizes remained for the Cash X100 lottery ticket after Ciringione became the first winner of the $5 million.
The probability of winning any prize is 1 in 3.68, while the odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 4,498,390.00.
