NASSAU WOMAN HAS STORE CLERK TO THANK FOR HER $1,000,000 LOTTERY WIN
June 4, 2012
Debra OBrien stopped at a Stewart’s Shops for a cup of coffee and some scratch-off tickets, and walked out with a The Color of Money Lottery ticket worth $1,000,000. So what was the Nassau resident’s lucky strategy? She simply took the advice of the clerk behind the Stewart’s counter.

“I went in the store specifically to buy two Cashword Lottery tickets. The clerk behind the counter suggested I buy the last The Color of Money ticket in the bin,” explained OBrien. “He said it had been sitting there for a while, so I decided to give it a shot. If it wasn’t for him, I would have never considered buying it.”

OBrien purchased her winning ticket on April 28 at the Stewart’s Shops on Columbia Turnpike in Rensselaer. “I scratched the ticket in my car right there in the parking lot. When I realized I just won $1,000,000, I ran back into the store and asked the clerk for a pen so I could sign the back of the ticket right away,” she explained. OBrien claimed her prize on May 15 at the Lottery’s Customer Service Center in Schenectady.
