LYNBROOK WOMAN GOES AGAINST FELLOW CUSTOMERS ADVICE AND WINS $1,000,000 SCRATCH-OFF PRIZE
July 5, 2012
Jacqueline Parry was waiting in line to buy two $5 scratch-off tickets when a customer in front of her told her not to buy the Ruby Red X12 ticket. So what did Parry do? She bought two Ruby Red X12 tickets and won the $1,000,000 top prize on the second one she scratched.

“The guy in front of me in line said he didn’t have a lot of luck on that particular ticket and said I should buy a different one,” explained Parry. “Something just told me to buy them anyway and that’s exactly what I did.”

Parry purchased her jackpot winning ticket on June 14 at Ocean Sunrise on Sunrise Highway in Rockville Centre. She claimed her prize on June 15 at the Lottery’s Customer Service Center in Garden City.

The $1,000,000 top prize on the Ruby Red X12 ticket is paid as an annuity. Parry will receive her prize in 20 annual payments of $50,000. Her annual net check will total $33,090.

“This has been a little over-whelming, but in a good way,” said Parry. “I haven’t really thought about what I will do with money, but it will definitely be something I normally wouldn’t or couldn’t do before I won.”
