I went online to double check and there they were again; 25, 27, 35, 38, 39, and [Mega Ball] 28. My wife and I haven\u2019t really slept since.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boyce said he immediately signed his ticket and kept it locked safely in a safe deposit box until he and his wife Francis contacted lotto officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were hoping things might calm down a little bit\u201d he said. \u201cBut when that didn\u2019t happen, we figured now was as good a time as any.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boyce bought the winning ticket at Shiv Convenience on Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, Queens.<\/p>\n<p>The store \u2014 which has been selling Mega Millions tickets since the game\u2019s debut in 2002 \u2014 received a $10,000 bonus from the New York Lottery for selling New York\u2019s latest Mega Millions jackpot winner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI used to play the lottery so I could win big,\u201d said Boyce. \u201cBig enough to retire, have enough to live on.
