Niagara County Resident Wins $1M on NY Lottery Scratch-off, Takes Nearly $450K Home After Taxes

A Niagara County woman is celebrating a major windfall after hitting a $1 million top prize on a New York Lottery scratch-off ticket.

Nancy Hagerman, of Youngstown, claimed her prize from the $1,000,000 Grande scratch-off game, opting for a lump sum payout. After taxes and required withholdings, she received $449,190, according to a statement from the New York Lottery.

The winning ticket was purchased at Tops Markets located at 906 Center Street in Lewiston, just outside Niagara Falls. Hagerman’s lucky moment came when she scratched the ticket and uncovered a “10X” symbol, multiplying her $100,000 prize tenfold.

As of now, one top $1 million prize remains in circulation for the $1,000,000 Grande game. Players can monitor the availability of prizes by visiting the New York Lottery’s website and downloading the latest Game Report.
