Marc Klein opted for the one-time lump-sum payout rather than weekly lifetime installments. While the ticket guarantees at least $10 million, state withholdings reduced his take-home amount to $4,372,060.
Klein purchased the winning ticket at NO7 Grocery on 18th Avenue, a small corner store now enjoying a burst of local excitement.
According to the Lottery, three top prizes remain for the popular scratch-off. Players frequently check the remaining prize count through the Game Report available on the New York Lottery website.
Scratch-off sales in fiscal year 2024–2025 topped $4.3 billion, helping generate more than $1.4 billion in education aid for New York City school districts. The New York Lottery remains the most profitable lottery system in North America, contributing $3.6 billion statewide to public schools last year.
Officials also reminded New Yorkers that help is available for gambling addiction through NYProblemGamblingHelp.org or the confidential HOPEline at 1-877-8-HOPENY.
He’s a great guy! He should use it in good health until 120!
So New York state doesn’t have an anonymous winner allowance? The whole world needs to know who it was?

Very nice. Mazel tov. But from 10 mil to less than half of that?? Wow! That’s a hefty cut. Thieves!!
In the blink of an eye, the financial mazel of a person can change. Wow!
I just received my last loan and have no one else to go to. As an Ani V’Evyon, I was looking for proof that person’s financial situation can change positively. Then I saw this story which gives me chizuk that if it is the Ratzon Hashem, I can be next.
I hope he doesn’t give up his job. He’s good at what he does
I feel that they mention his name and show his picture
Can’t he have some privacy?
The poor guy is gonna be bombarded
Disgusting that this is published. Do better
I’ve been trying to invite you to my kids wedding but I can’t seem to find your address?
Mazel Tov!!!
So every rosh mossad and funderraiser calling him now so long time no speak…… on a serious note mazel tov great guy great wedding manger too
Marc, all I can do is wish that you regret your choice of lump sum.
Figure 120 – your current age x 52 week annualy x 10k per week. Total is way more than the few million.
So yes I wish you many happy and healthy (and perhaps wealthy) years.
I’m happy for you although I don’t know you, cause you look like a humble person and the money won’t make you into elite..
Need to make friends with him.
Mishylachom, now is the time. Before he gets use to all that money lolol
its his achrayus to give tzedaka
I hope people don’t drive him nuts
Just went online to NYS lottery and some people have their names listed without pictures. Why did he have to have his picture up there?
My daughter’s getting married and her father died recently, and my wife csn’t do it alone, she’s in need of desperate help, and only 99% of proceeds go the organisation fundraising for her, while 100% of the remaining 1% will go directly towards wedding expenses.
VIN, please remove this article. I am sure many yodden like me are sick to our stomachs and on grave pain as we wonder, why did he deserve to win and not me?! The article made me throw up and I am literally sick. I can’t function and I hear many others are in the same matzav. The article is like unleashing a COVID 19 virus, causing a pandemic and destroying many yidden related. Please delete it and save our sanity, health and peace of mind. The article took away my entire simchas ha’chaim.
he needs to give 10% to tzedaka
