Three new Long Island lottery winners, about to become millionaires, are to be introduced at 11 a.m. Friday and receive their checks at the 7-Eleven store in Bayport, according to a news release from the New York Lottery.
The winners include a self-employed surveyor and his wife, a hospital employee, from Bayport who bought a jackpot-winning $3-million Bonanza scratch-off ticket at that 7-Eleven, the release said.
The other Long Island winner is a golf course turf salesman from Middle Island who matched the first five numbers drawn in the Jan. 28 Powerball drawing worth $1 million.
Yolanda Vega, on-air personality with the New York Lottery, will introduce them, as well as two winners from Flushing and Sunnyside. Collectively, the checks to be presented Friday total $6 million, the release said.
