What to know about the mega millions lottery

UNIONDALE, New York -- A Long Island man struck gold this week with a huge scratch-off game win, and its not the first time he's done it either.

Juan Hernandez claimed his $10 million top prize on Tuesday after playing the New York Lottery's $10 million deluxe scratch-off game.

But Hernandez said he's, "still trying to spend the $10,000,000" that he won back in 2019.

That time Hernandez lucked out after playing the $350 million Cash Spectacular scratch-off game.

His most recent ticket was purchased at a Hempstead Stop & Shop located in Uniondale.

Hernandez opted to receive his winnings in a single lump sum -- a cool $6,510,000.

As of Friday, there are three $10-million top prizes left on the deluxe scratch-off game.
