The Capital Region has had its share of big-time cashes within the last year or so from the New York State Lottery.

A year ago in January, a scratch-off called "Make My Year" was sold at the Cumberland Farms in Glens Falls. It was a 2.5 million dollar hit for one lucky Capital Region native.

Back in February of 2020, there was a million dollar scratch off winner sold at a Stewart's in Gloversville and that was from a game called "Make My Month." Of course, the grand daddy of them all; back in September a 95 million dollar Powerball winning jackpot ticket was sold in Saratoga County.
