A Dutchess County woman is the latest person to become a multimillion-dollar winner from the New York Lottery.
Joanne Massarelli, of Hyde Park, walked into Smokes 4 Less on Albany Post Road in Hyde Park last month, bought a $30 scratch-off and walked out a multimillionaire.
This store has been buzzing with activity all day after people heard about the winning scratch-off and decided they were feeling lucky, too
State lottery officials say the 71-year-old Massarelli opted to receive a single lump-sum payment of a little more than $6.5 million after taxes.
