Supermarket cashier wins $19 million
Published: April 25, 2006
Doreen Patterson, a cashier at the Price Chopper supermarket in the Town of Wallkill for the past four years is undecided what she will do with the $19 million she won in the April 12th state Lotto drawing.
She will be taking home $380,000 per year for 25 years, minus income taxes.
Mrs. Patterson Tuesday stood with her husband, David, a City of Middletown employee, and their daughter, Sarah, who is “16 going on 17,” to accept the ceremonial check from Lottery Director Nancy Palumbo.
Mrs. Patterson isn’t exactly sure what they will do with the money or if she will continue to work at the store. “I don’t want to lose sight of who we are,” she said.
She is the first million dollar Lotto winner in Orange County this year and the 24th since the Lottery was begun in 1967.
