UTICA WOMAN RECYCLES HER BOTTLES AND CANS, USES PROCEEDS TO BUY JACKPOT-WINNING MILLION DOLLAR SCRAT
May 30, 2012
Stay-at-home mom, Diane Przybyla is a regular at Price Chopper’s supermarket on Genesee Street in Utica and a frequent visitor to the store’s bottle redemption area. Recently, Przybyla got a very practical reminder of just how rewarding recycling can be.
“I scratched the Million Dollar Scratch and saw a match on the number 3 on the top and bottom of the ticket,” she said. It was a match worth $1,000,000. “I called my brother right away because I needed someone else to see what I was seeing,” said Przybyla. “I left the store and drove to my brother’s house. It was the longest 20 minutes of my life,” she said. /P>
Once signed and verified, Przybyla opted to put her Million Dollar Scratch winner in a safety deposit box until she was able to claim her prize. Przybyla redeemed her $1,000,000 winner May 9 at the Lottery’s Customer Service Center in Schenectady. /P>
The top prize on the Million Dollar Scratch ticket is paid as $50,000 a year over 20 years. Przybyla will receive an annual net check totaling $33,090 through 2031. “I couldn’t believe it then, and I still don’t believe it,” said Przybyla whose plans for the money remain on the practical side. “I’d like to get a computer for the kids and a new car for me,” she said. “A summer vacation with the kids would be nice, too.”
Przybyla is the second Oneida County Lottery player to win a Lottery prize of $1,000,000 or more in 2012. Hung Tran of Utica claimed his $1,000,000 prize on the 20X The Money scratch-off game in January.
