Hudson Valley Man Wins $5 Million on a Scratch-Off Lotto Ticket

A Yonkers man made a very important purchase on Christmas morning, and no it wasn't a last minute gift for a relative. In fact, it turned out to be quite the gift for himself and his family.

News 12 reports that Kevin Buchanan is the area's latest big lotto winner. He recently came forward to claim his $5 million prize. Buchanan is a construction worker and father of three. He won on the scratch-off game 'Hit.'

Lotto officials presented him with his check at Yonkers Grocery and Convenience store, where he purchased the winning ticket.

I'm off to try my luck, who knows who'll be next. Win for Life here I come.
