NY man wins $10 million recently in scratch off lottery game

A New York man picked up a scratch-off ticket during a stop at the Pick-N-Go on Eastchester Drive in High Point.

He won $10 million. In fact, Ryan Patrick of Oswego, N.Y., bought the last $10 million winner in the $30 Colossal Cash game, the N.C. Education Lottery said in a news release.

Patrick claimed his prize Tuesday at lottery headquarters. He chose the $6 million lump sum over an annuity.

After state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $4,260,609. The lottery will begin ending the Colossal Cash game now that the final top prize has been won.

The winner has to reach the nearest lottery headquarters for further documentation formalities and for claiming their winning prize money, lottery officials said.
