Spring Valley – Quicken Food, also known as Open Everyday Convenience, recently sold its second big winning lottery ticket in two years.
The New York State Lottery�s Yolanda Vega will present the store’s most recent winner, a Monsey resident, with the winning jackpot prize of $1 million at the convenience store at 29 S. Main St. in Spring Valley on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.
�When he won the jackpot he was so happy, he didn�t know whether he was a winner or not,� said Store manager Saleem Shezmin, of the Monsey man. �He showed it to us and we said �Yes, of course you are the winner!� He was nervous and happy and then he went home.�
Shezmin said the winner is a regular and usually buys two to 10 scratch-off tickets that are each $2 to $10 each when he comes into the store. The gambler purchased the winning $1 million Cash Blast scratch-off about a month ago. Quicken Food also sold a $3 million winning lottery ticket about two years ago.
Shezmin said he made sure the Monsey resident signed the ticket so that it couldn�t be stolen from him.
�You never know,� said Shezmin. �Anything can happen. We are very happy for him and to have a big winner from the store.�
