A 29-year-old Selkirk man won $5 million from a Bankroll scratch-off state game from the New York State Lottery.

Jeremy Stark, a father of two who works from home in the insurance industry, bought the ticket at the Shop N Save supermarket at 2481 Route 9W in Ravena..

He was introduced Thursday at the store by Yolanda Vega of the state Gaming Commission.

According to a transcript, the store isn't Stark's usual stop, but he was nearby and wanted to buy a frozen pizza for dinner.

"I went to the Lottery vending machine on the way out to get a ticket I've been lucky on lately, but it was sold out so I got this one instead. Put those things together and I think that's what they call fate – everything happens for a reason," Stark said.

Stark said he scratched his $5 million winner the following morning while sitting at the kitchen table.

"I checked the numbers another five or six times and then let out a big 'YES!' before calling my dad."

He chose to receive a one-time lump-sum payment totaling $3,359,000 after required withholdings.

Stark said he planned to continue working but was leaving his options open.
