FISHKILL – A 59-year-old circus concession worker from Walden is the second person in the state to win $5 million from the Lottery’s Mega Money Multiplier scratch-off game.
Donnie Hayes bought the $20 ticket in New York City on New Year’s Eve when he stopped in a smoke shop to buy a pack of cigarettes. He claimed the pride at the Lottery’s Fishkill customer service center on January 3. He will take home a lump sum of $3.3 million after taxes.
Hayes plans on retiring from his job at the Big Apple Circus and moving to Georgia to be closer to his sister.
