Poughkeepsie man wins $1 million lottery








 Willie Wright never really played the lottery, his family said.
Fortunately, his fiancée did.
Karlissa Stroman’s gift of a $5 scratch-off ticket made the 34-year-old Wright a $1 million winner. She bought him the New York Lottery 20X the Cash scratch-off game that ended up being worth the top prize.
“He doesn’t like scratch-offs; he hates when I do them,” Stroman said.
The 25-year-old gave her fiancé the ticket on Jan. 22, after she got home from running errands. She bought it at the Smokes 4 Less on Main Street in the City of Poughkeepsie.
Her decision “changed his life,” said Willie’s brother Shawn Wright, 32.
“They were in their room and suddenly … I heard, ‘Oh my God,’ ” Shawn Wright said. “At first, I didn’t believe it when they showed me.”
Looking at the winning ticket was surreal, Shawn Wright said.
“She (Stroman) came out of the room shaking,” Shawn Wright said. “I was overwhelmed actually.”
The prize money is paid out at $50,000 a year for 20 years. After taxes, the annual check will be $33,090.
The Town of Poughkeepsie man still seemed surprised about the big win when Jina Myers of the New York Lottery presented him and two other Hudson Valley winners with ceremonial checks on Wednesday at the lottery’s Customer Service Center in Fishkill.
“I don’t have any big (spending) plans right now, I might give some to the family,” Willie Wright said. “I’m pretty shocked, too.”
The other Hudson Valley lottery winners are from Westchester County.
Tawanna Turner of Hartsdale won $2 million playing Powerball with the Power Play option. She’ll get a lump sum payment of $1,323,600 after taxes.
Michael Hurley and Sandra DeRaffele of New Rochelle won $1 million playing Powerball and chose to split the winnings. Each will get a lump sum payment of $330,900 after taxes.
Shawn Wright and his family are very happy for his brother, he said.
“Everyone’s shocked. ... They’re kind of quiet,” he said of the couple.

Lottery popularity

Stroman said she’ll keep playing the lottery, especially the scratch-off tickets.
