Pittsford Realtor Declares Financial Independence With $1,000,000 Lottery Prize

Schenectady, NY Sixty-four-year-old Ronald McKay of Pittsford has seen his
lifelong dream of financial independence come true. The entrepreneur real
estate agent and owner of the Pittsford-based Blanket Real Estate Company, Inc.,
realized his dream upon winning the $1,000,000 top prize on the
Liberty’s Millions instant game from the New York Lottery. McKay will
receive his prize in payments of $50,000 a year for 20 years, less required
tax withholdings.
It’s a good feeling, said McKay. I can retire and still take care of my
familyit’s just a really good feeling.
McKay said he and his wife, Irene, have four children, three college tuitions
and one grandchild on the way so this will certainly help on a number of fronts.

An avid Lottery player, McKay has been trying his luck on various Lottery games for 40 years, winning as much as $1,000 here and there.
I knew right away this one was different, he said. I had to ask (my wife) to check the ticket because I just couldn’t believe my own eyes.
McKay purchased his winning Liberty’s Millions ticket on November 26, 2007 at the A-Plus Mini Mart on South Washington St. in East Rochester. He claimed his $1,000,000 prize the following day at the Lottery’s East Main St. Claim Center in Rochester.
McKay’s win brings to three the number of new Lottery Millionaire checks distributed to Monroe County residents so far this year,
the Lottery’s 40th anniversary year. Other recent Lottery Millionaires include Lynn Cocilova of Webster who won her $1,000,000 prize on the Lottery’s $3,000,000 Jubilee instant game in January and Therese Arieno of Hilton who received her $1,000,000 windfall in June. Arieno won her prize on the popular Be an Instant Millionaire instant game.
