Francine Fortune, a Brooklyn resident, won a top prize in the New York Lottery’s 50Xtra scratch-off game. She scratched off the $1 million box and received a lump-sum payment of $416,325 after required withholdings. The winning ticket was purchased at 317 Marcus Garvey Liquors in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Two top prizes remained in the 50Xtra game as of Wednesday afternoon. Players win by scratching to uncover a matching winning number tied to the $1 million prize or by revealing a “50X” symbol that multiplies a lower-tier prize. Lottery scratch-off games generated $4,339,794,048 in total sales in fiscal year 2024-2025, and Westchester County school districts received $136,234,133 in Lottery Aid to Education funds.
