The holidays arrived a few weeks ahead of time for one Suffolk County resident Monday after he claimed a $3 million prize from a New York Lottery scratch-off ticket.
Kurt Kelleher, of Shirley, claimed the top prize on the New York Lottery’s Bonus Bucks scratch-off game, the New York Lottery said.
He opted to receive the prize in 20 annual payments of $97,653 each after required withholdings, the lottery website said.
The winning ticket was purchased at King Kullen on William Floyd Parkway in Shirley.
Two additional $3 million top prizes remain to be claimed on the Bonus Bucks game, the lottery said. Players can check the status of any New York Lottery scratch-off game by downloading the Game Report at nylottery.ny.gov.

For one Canadian woman, a Free Play lottery ticket handed to her by a generous customer as a tip turned into a shocking win.
Elizabeth Kielty is a Mississauga, Ont., resident who works in the transportation service industry. During an ordinary day at work, a customer gave her an unusual tip for great service: a Lotto Max Free Play ticket.
“I set the ticket aside and completely forgot about it,” Kielty said. “Several weeks later, I remembered the ticket and took it to the store to redeem my Free Play with another Lotto Max ticket.”
She then returned to the store a few days after the draw to check her tickets, including the one she got from the customer’s Free Play ticket.
“When I had my ticket that came from the ‘tip’ validated, the lottery terminal froze, and the clerk told me my ticket was a big winner. I remained calm and collected, but I was in disbelief,” she said. “A representative from OLG called the store, and I said, ‘Are you sure I won? I think you made a mistake!’”

To her surprise, Kielty discovered that the “tip” ticket was a winner — she had won half of a Maxmillions prize in the Aug. 13, 2024, draw. She was now $500,000 richer, her first big win after playing the lottery for decades.
“I spent the next 24 hours trying to understand how I’d won this prize,” she recalled. “I was convinced there had been an error somewhere. I only really believed it around 2 a.m. when I found the information about the winning ticket on OLG’s website. Clearly, I’m an evidence-based person.”
While at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto to claim her windfall, she said she plans to use her win to upgrade her vehicle. She’s also going to invest her winnings “in a safe place” while she thinks about what to do with her money.
“I’m happy to receive this prize and grateful for the positive impact it’ll have on my life,” she said.
The winning ticket was purchased at Petro-Canada on Burnhamthorpe Road in Mississauga.

Woman liked how lottery ticket ‘scratched.’ So she picked it and won the jackpot  Kansas City Star
source

September 6, 2025

Saturday night’s Powerball drawing in the second largest ever, soaring to an estimate $1.8 billion, or a cash option of $826.4 million — both amounts before taxes.
The drawing trails only the world record $2.04 billion jackpot won on November 7, 2022, in California.
The drawing Saturday night will be the 42nd since the last winner on May 31, also in California.
Over the past 30-plus years, there have been many theories on whether players can gain an edge to winning the Powerball. Here are the top secret three misconceptions and tips, according to the lottery:
Misconception 1: You’re better off letting the computer randomly select your numbers versus you choosing your own numbers on a play slip.
How a player selects their numbers does NOT affect their probability of matching the winning Powerball numbers. Every number has the same probability of being drawn in every Powerball drawing. Historically, 82% of Powerball jackpot-winning tickets had winning numbers that were chosen by a computer. That doesn’t mean that method of play is any luckier, simply that more Powerball ticket purchases are quick picks, or had their numbers chosen by a computer. If half of all tickets purchased for a Powerball drawing had numbers that were chosen by a player, then statistically, we would expect player picks to account for half of the winning tickets.
Misconception 2: Powerball jackpot-winning tickets are only sold in big cities and states.
Powerball was designed to be a random game. Every ticket has the same probability of matching the winning numbers drawn, regardless of where a ticket was sold. The number of winning tickets in a location directly correlates to the volume of ticket sales. Typically, there are more winning tickets in cities because they have higher ticket sales compared to rural areas, and therefore, more winners based upon sales volume.
Misconception 3: You have a better chance of winning the Powerball jackpot if less people are playing.
Individual players have the same odds of winning in every Powerball drawing, regardless of the jackpot amount or how many tickets were sold for a particular drawing.
However, as the Powerball jackpot increases there is a greater likelihood of someone winning it. As the jackpot goes up, ticket sales increase, which means more number combinations are being purchased. Based on sales volume, game leaders can estimate how many potential number combinations are covered, assuming each ticket purchase has a unique number combination. Lotteries call this coverage. A higher coverage percentage means there’s a higher chance that the Powerball jackpot will be hit.
