Mega Millions Ticket Worth $1 Million In The Hudson Valley
BREAKING: Someone who got a ticket at Stew Leonard's has won a cool million. The $1.6 billion jackpot was hit, but not in NY.
YONKERS, NY — Stew Leonard's in Yonkers was the distribution point of one of the 36 second-prize winning tickets for Tuesday night's record-setting Mega Millions drawing. Those tickets are worth $1 million each, though all eyes were on the massive $1.6 billion jackpot and that is going to just one person who bought a ticket in South Carolina.
Stew Leonard, Jr., was giving away free lottery tickets to customers at the Yonkers store over this past weekend. When the winner comes forward, Stew Leonard’s will be holding a celebration in honor of the winning ticket sold for a second-place winner of one of the largest lotteries in history, company officials said.
