She recalled how she won.  She had come in to visit her dad and was hanging out with him. One customer went into the store, which her parents own, and asked for two Make Me Rich tickets, the customer did not realize that they were priced at $10 so she returned one.  Seema took the one the customer did not want.

“I couldn’t believe it. I was really excited but I wasn’t sure,” Dhimmer said about her immediate feelings after scratching off the winning box. “I had my dad check first to see if it was really a winner and it was. We were happy, hugging, we were really excited.”

She then called her mother and sisters with the good news

“She’s always played maybe one or two,” said customer Bill McKenna. “I’m happy for them. (The parents) put in long shifts there, from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.” He added that the Corner News store has seen two $3 million winners and a $1 million winner in the past.

Dhimmer claimed her prize on Sept. 21 at Empire City Casino in Yonkers. The prize is paid as an annuity, she will recieve $150,000 a year for 20 years. The net check amount will be $99,045. Mega lottery
