BREAKING: A man from Syracuse has just claimed a staggering $17 million New York Lotto jackpot drawn on July 23, 2023. Larry Hartig matched all six winning numbers: 06, 08, 22, 29, 37, and 50, and opted for a one-time cash payout instead of the annuitized jackpot.
After mandatory withholdings, Hartig walked away with a lump sum of $5,770,232, according to lottery officials.

Residents of Onondaga County, where Syracuse is situated, will benefit as well, receiving $129.8 million in Lottery Aid to Education funds during the same period. These funds are crucial for local school districts, directly impacting the community’s educational resources.
