Canton Main Street Stewart's sells $10 million lottery ticket
May 14—Canton Main Street Stewart's sells $10 million lottery ticket CANTON — A Stewart's Shops customer in Canton recently struck it rich, winning $10 million with a $10 Million Bonus scratch-off ticket purchased at the convenience store on East Main Street. According to a press release from Stewart's, the lucky customer, who enjoys coffee and playing the lottery, bought the winning ticket on May 3. Stewart's found out about the winner because they returned to the store recently to share the news, according to Stewart's Public Relations Manager Robin Cooper. Cooper said the New York State Lottery may be making an announcement soon, depending on the process with the winner. "We just heard it from the folks in our shop," he said. Cooper said he talked to the lottery commission about the win. Brad Maione, a spokesperson for the state Gaming Commission, said a winning ticket from Canton had been confirmed. To determine the veracity of the ticket, a security and integrity review is underway, Maione said, which can take from four to six weeks to complete. Once the ticket is verified, an announcement will be made. The winner has the right to remain anonymous, he said. This marks the second time a Stewart's Shops customer has won a jackpot of more than $1 million this year. Earlier this year, a customer at the Sharon Springs, Schoharie County, location won a $3.37 million lump-sum payment with a Set For Life ticket. The winner at the Canton Stewart's was playing a $30, $10,000,000 Bonus scratch-off ticket. The ticket operates similarly to other lottery scratch-off games. Players match their numbers to the winning numbers. The game features multipliers, and revealing a coin symbol where a player's number matches automatically wins the prize. Stewart's Shops reported that more than 15 of its customers, including the Canton winner, have won prizes of $10,000 or more playing scratch-off tickets at various locations this year, for a total of more than $15 million.
