Lottery winner!
Courtney King of Akwesasne was the excited winner of close to $80,000 from the New York State Lottery last Thursday .
King purchased a Take 5 lottery ticket for $5 from Speedway Convenience Store in Hogansburg and likely forgot about it by the time Speedway was notified a winning ticket had been purchased from their store.
“My sister came over saying she went to Speedway and they had a big winner,” King said. “(She said) here’s the winning numbers, check your ticket! So I went to my car and got my ticket, looked at the numbers and realized I had all five numbers! We started yelling and we went to the store to check the numbers and I had the numbers!”
King’s total winnings were $79,597.
