![]() Scinto will receive his prize in quarterly payments of $26,000, less required tax withholdings, each year for the rest of his life. "As long as you keep living, we'll keep paying," DeFrancisco said. ![]() Last week, New York Lottery Director Margaret DeFrancisco presented Scinto with his first check during a ceremony at All Nite Express and told him he could look forward to many more. "I ran outside - I got so excited - to call my wife to tell her, and I forgot the $10 change I had in the machine." "I had put $20 in the machine, and I hit on the second ticket," Scinto said. "At first, I thought maybe I read it wrong or something."Īfter checking with the cashier at the All Nite Express, the convenience store on Hempstead Avenue in East Meadow where he bought the scratch-off ticket, Scinto confirmed he had a winner. "It's really an unbelievable feeling," said Michael Scinto, a North Bellmore resident of the last 18 years, who won on Thursday, July 25. The odds of winning are roughly 1 out of 5.2 million. In just the last two months, not one but two North Bellmore residents have won the Lotto's $2,000 a week for life game from tickets purchased in an East Meadow convenience store and a North Bellmore market.
