Another New Yorker hit the Mega Millions jackpot and this time it's not from the city. It's a lot closer to home. The $20 million winning ticket was sold in Syracuse, New York.

Days after the big jackpot worth nearly half a billion dollars was sold in Queens, another lucky lottery player becomes a millionaire in New York. One ticket matched all six numbers in the Tuesday, April 18 drawing.

Back to Back New York Wins

Several states have won two straight Mega Millions jackpots before, but this is the first time in the game’s history that jackpots have been won in the same state in consecutive drawings, according to Mega Millions. You can see the jackpot history at Megamillions.com.

Central New Yorker Set for Life

A Central New Yorker found his own pot of gold earlier this year, winning $7.3 million on a lottery ticket sold in Barneveld.

A $10 'Set for Life' scratch-off ticket set up one lucky lottery player for the rest of his life. It was sold at the Haver's Circle K, formerly the Nice N Easy on Route 12, on March 15, two days before St Patrick's Day.

The winning ticket is worth $5000 a week for life or a cash payout of $7.3 million.
