Loyal lottery players call it the mother of all multipliers — New York Lottery’s 200X instant scratch-off game.
And on Tuesday, a Suffolk County man hit it big, claiming the game’s top prize of $10 million, lottery officials announced.
The winner opted for a lump sum payment of $6.51 million after required withholdings. His family has requested that he not be identified.
He purchased the winning ticket in Queens at Nor-Parsons Service Center, 73-15 Parsons Blvd., Fresh Meadows.
Lottery officials confirmed that all top prizes for the 200X game have now been claimed. Lower-tier prizes can still be cashed through May 28. Players can check the status of New York Lottery scratch-off games by downloading the Game Report at nylottery.ny.gov.
Big scratch-off win last month
The Suffolk man is the second big winner on a New York Lottery scratch-off game in recent weeks. A Northport company late last month claimed a $1 million prize on a scratch-off ticket purchased Cards & Gift, 324 Jericho Turnpike in Syosset.
Eximia Victor Limited Liability Company won the prize playing New York Lottery’s VIP Millions scratch-off game. The LLC received chose to receive a one-time lump sum payment of $651,000, after required withholdings.
