WALDEN MAN RINGS IN THE NEW YEAR WITH $5,000,000 SCRATCH-OFF WIN
January 18, 2012
Donnie Hayes of Walden, Orange County, started 2012 with a bang. The 59-year-old circus concession worker was in New York City on New Year’s Eve and decided to purchase a Mega Money Multiplier scratch-off ticket to help ring in the New Year. The ticket he purchased turned out to be a jackpot winner, earning him a $5,000,000 pay day.

Hayes bought his winning ticket at Shami Smoke & Magazine in Lincoln Plaza in Manhattan on December 31, 2011. He claimed his prize at the Lottery’s Customer Service Center in Fishkill on January 3, 2012. The $5,000,000 top prize on the Mega Money Multiplier ticket is paid out as a one-time lump sum payment. Hayes will receive one net payment totaling $3,309,000.

Hayes is the second New Yorker to win the $5,000,000 top prize on the popular Mega Money Multiplier scratch-off ticket. The first jackpot winning ticket was purchased by Edwin Zhingre of Queens Village in December 2011.
