Just picture this, a Bronx mom dressed as Snooki, a sanitation worker in bunny ears and a babysitter wearing a rainbow hat. What do they all have in common? They went trick-or-treating on the 31st of October to and received much more than candies.

This Halloween set the stage for the funniest and happiest party that eight very lucky New Yorkers will never forget. Eight New York Lottery winners were invited to a Halloween extravaganza where they took home a total of $23.5 million in jackpots.

Clayton Wint, a sanitation worker from Brooklyn said when he received a gigantic check for almost $1 million at the Abracadabra Superstore in Chelsea, “It’s not going to change my life, but it’s going to change my lifestyle”. Wint, who is the absolute poker fan, won the $1 million New York Poker scratch-off prize last month, just in time to celebrate his 19th wedding anniversary. “I’m going to take my wife on a trip. I don’t know where yet, maybe Hawaii or a Bahamas cruise,” he said, he also plans to top it all off with a diamond ring. Dressed in a top hat and bunny ears, Wint shared stories with other lucky Lottery players who were also accepting oversized checks from state Lottery hosts Jina Myers and Yolanda Vega.
