SHARON SPRINGS — A big winning ticket was sold just last week at our very own local Stewart’s! According to Stewart's Shops, on February 19th this winning lottery ticket was sold at a Stewart's Shop in Sharon Springs, located at 526 Route 20. The winner has not been identified.

The New York Lottery claims there are five Set For Life #1639 scratch-off game top prizes left. The winner will receive $5,000 a week for life that totals a little more than five million dollars. One unclaimed top prize remains for Game #1548 of the Set For Life series, and five unclaimed top prizes remain for Game #1639.

There must be something lucky going on in Sharon Springs since, according to Stewart’s, “over 50 customers won $500 or more playing scratch-off tickets at the Sharon Springs store last year.” Don’t be superstitious since that is a fraction of the total winnings of the NY Lottery!

Though the winner may have been a local community member and could come forward, they could have also been a traveler passing through. We will keep up with the progress on this story! Good luck to all and any who hope to win!
