WEST CHAZY, N.Y. Thanks to a stop at a convenience store to pick up a soda, Fannie Spoor can now switch to champagne.
The 57-year-old grandmother from northern New York won two (m) million dollars after buying a ten-dollar scratch-off lottery
ticket at a Wilson Farms in West Chazy, near the Canadian border north of Plattsburgh.
Yesterday she received the first of 20 annual 100-thousand-dollar payments, minus taxes.
Spoor -- the mother of six and grandmother of nine -- was at the store to get a soda when she decided to buy a lottery ticket.
She scratched off the ticket in her car and realized she had won.
Spoor is a homemaker and her husband is a truck driver. Her children says she's devoted to her family.
The newly-minted (m) millionaire says she'll probably buy a new house with her winnings -- and visit her sister in Albany.
