“MONTICELLO, N.Y. – The New York Lottery’s Yolanda Vega returned to Sullivan County for the second time in two months today to present another multimillion ceremonial prize check to a nationwide Lottery winner. Tammy Pratt, 47, of South Fallsburg was the sole winner of the $126 million Mega Millions jackpot drawing of February 27, 2015. Pratt, a real estate broker, is the second Sullivan County Mega Millions jackpot winner in two months after the announcement in January of Harold Diamond of Wurtsboro winning a $326 million Mega Millions jackpot.
“Pratt told Vega she only buys lottery tickets when the jackpot is over $100 million. “I was between appointments and stopped to buy gas at the Mobil station in South Fallsburg,” said Pratt. ‘I saw that the Mega Millions jackpot for that evening’s drawing was $126 million, so I decided to buy a ticket.’
“Pratt said she usually buys only one ticket and uses the Quick Pick feature to pick her numbers. ‘I normally buy only one ticket when the jackpot is high, but this time I bought $4 worth. I just had a feeling I should get more than one,’ said Pratt.”
