The New York State Lottery announced that a man from Angola won one of the top prizes of $1 million dollars playing the Cashword Bonus scratch-off game.
Back in October, the Powerball was a whopping $1.76 billion, and although no one from New York won that enormous jackpot, someone in Upstate New York was holding a $1 million ticket. We now know who that lucky winner is, well sort of.
The jackpots for both the Mega Millions and the Powerball are over $300 million dollars each and if someone from New York were to win one of them, they would land on the list of the Top 5 largest Lottery jackpots ever won in New York State.
