Aubrey Boyce, 49, of Kew Gardens, won the July 7 drawing after letting the computer pick what turned out to be the winning numbers.
“Shocked and still a little nervous about the whole thing - that’s how I feel,” said Boyce. “It’s still very much a dream, a dream come true.”
Boyce was presented with a check during a news conference at Grand Central Terminal.
State lotto officials said Boyce opted for the lump-sum payment that will give him a whopping $82.7 million.
After taxes, Boyce will take home $54.6 million.
Boyce lives in a $145,000 condo he purchased four years ago and earned $64,472 in his job as a collection agent at the MTA.
Boyce, who also quit his job today, collected his new fortune as the Trustee of the Archibald Trust - a management tool he recently created to help him administer his Mega Millions windfall.
Boyce, who typically spends $12 a week on lottery tickets, said he doled out $2 on the morning of July 7 for two sets of Quick Pick numbers for that night’s drawing.
He said he never expected to win.
“I went to a different store the next day to check the winning numbers,” Boyce said. “I saw my numbers and got a little nervous. 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’t really slept since.”
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.
“We were hoping things might calm down a little bit” he said. “But when that didn’t happen, we figured now was as good a time as any.”
Boyce bought the winning ticket at Shiv Convenience on Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, Queens.
The store - which has been selling Mega Millions tickets since the game’s debut in 2002 - received a $10,000 bonus from the New York Lottery for selling New York’s latest Mega Millions jackpot winner.
“I used to play the lottery so I could win big,” said Boyce. “Big enough to retire, have enough to live on. Now, I really don’t know what I’ll do beyond just taking care of my family.”

An equal opportunity winner. It doesn't matter who you are, you have just the same odds of winning. Congratulations to Mr. Boise on winning the Mega Millions lottery game!
Boyce. It's Mr Boyce.
Not anymore.
The Mega Millions and the Powerball Lotteries are rigged today.
They chose the winner of that 2B$$$ Jackpot.
That's why the results too way too long to post.
They looked for a single ticket in California and gave it to them.
Lottery winnings should be tax free. It's a prize, not income.
LaoSoftware I completely agree!
LaoSoftware MOVE TO A STATE THAT DOESN'T TAX WINNINGS like Florida and others
It's fake news
WA, WY, TX, SD, NH, TN have no state income tax.
CA has a state income tax (very high) but shockingly and wonderfully doesn't tax lottery jackpots, neither does DE.
But it becomes income.
Going from $2 to $50M is damn good enough.
This man is my second cousin (mum's first cousin). He shared some the money with his siblings. I've never met the guy but hand on heart I'm really happy for him. I love telling people my cousin won the lottery even though I have as much to do with him as any other lottery winner. :-) I also love the fact that he has the same name as Boycey from Only Fools and Horses lol!
If he’s your moms cousin, he’s your uncle not your 2nd cousin.
@@mazemade2980that is incorrect. His uncle would be one of his mothers brothers. But the cousin of his mother would be his second uncle.
@@mazemade2980and then if the second uncle had children they would bw his second cousins.
@@Fischjesicht wait really? I thought any of your parents cousins would automatically be your uncles/aunts? You learn something new everyday I guess.
@@mazemade2980 no the siblings of your parents are your aunts and uncles
Well they failed to mention that he was ONE of TWO winners, the other winner was a California couple, so they split the 133 jackpot, which is why he walks away with a littler over 50 mil...
Even though you won 133 million, about 65 million go to state and federal taxes but it's still enough to settle you for life.
WTF you guys complaining he only gets 50million????? Who cares 1million would make anyone fking happy!!!! lol
I won $600 this evening.
I’m wearing that yellow lotto costume when it’s my turn to claim the prize 🤣🤣🤣 BET!
Wow. I would sure love to hit the Lotto! I play it with every chance I get! ;-)
50 million after tax that is almost 2/3 of the man's winnings lol. Highway robbery.
Never buy ticket in NY especially not NYC. Buy in Delaware.
I won a million dollar
Would love to win that amount...Pay off the house, buy a car..
Congrats..
The worst part about winning for those who want privacy is that the lottery is mandated by the freedom of information to release your name and hometown to the public. It's initially their money and they can do whatever they want to (within the law) before they hand the cash over to you. I still think it's messed up though, but I'd rather have them do that then go to a press conference so they can show my face over and over on news. I just want the money, they can have the fame.
If you notice the cheque is made to the achibald trust, he could have collected it privately last minute chose not to
Look, California won again: 8/28/2010
One ticket matched all six numbers in the August 27 Mega Millions drawing. That ticket, which was bought in Morro Bay, California, wins the estimated $133 million jackpot
7/25/2010
Two lucky ladies from Southern California who work for an independent telephone company came forward this afternoon to claim a $64 million MEGA Millions jackpot. The pair matched all six numbers on July 16.
I am so happy this black man won 133 millions
What does this even mean? What the heck's his colour got to do with it? Utter nonsense.
Did you really need to add black man
If I win the lottery I would wear a mask when I claim my money. All this publicity is dangerous for the winner and his family.
Only the people from New York, California, Texas and Georgia won the big Megamillion's jackpot; Why?
Yolanda Vega NY lottery host is still there in 2021
@steviegr36 believe it or not. Most of them didn't go broke because of crack or whatever. They most likely go broke because of either being sued or trying to help out relatives and friends. There are a lot of scam artists out there, and you are NEVER prepared no matter how smart you are. Most of them are being sued for sexual harassment. Also, your relatives and friends WILL def come to you for help ALL THE TIME. And they don't really want to pay u back, since they think u r rich.
man, i sure hope i win. i have some really good plans for me and those closest to me. i plan on investing around 5 million in land to rent to businesses and also to own my own gaming lan center. and also have my father and uncle retire, and to give my cousins a great child hood. i could also get married sooner and do many things in my life ive always wanted too. man, this is my dream. though i only buy $1-$2 a week. i pray every night to win.
I hope u win someday
@@minigungaming5404 I hope we all do.
Aww Congratulations 🎊 🎉 🎈 🍾 !!!
Dang! I would be scared and nervous to let all of NY that I have that much money!Hope he moves far far away from there!
wearing sun glasses indoors... fuck yeah, bad ass.
you are under arrest,
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say or do can and will be held against you in a court of law.
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.
Do you understand these rights I have just read to you?
Another Newyorker won the MegaMillions Jackpot: One ticket matched all six numbers in the May 25 Mega Millions drawing to win the estimated $64 million jackpot. That ticket was bought in Kings County, New York.
in UK the lottery is Tax Free :-)
He should have hired a tax attorney to claim the ticket for him. That way, his identity would be unknown.
I WANT TO WIN THE POWERBALL JACKPOT OR MEGA MILLIONS JACKPOT.
He originally did, he claimed as the Archibald Trust but then changed his mind.
i just just 2 numbers off the super lotto 12 million last week, shucks, i collected my 57 bucks tho.
My turn is coming
Yes
taxes is what keeps this country running.
I REALLY WANT TO WIN!!!! AND I WILL!!!!
1 thing that i hate is that if he won the 133 million, they take taxes out, they shud put on theyre screens the 133 million, AND what you will be getting after taxes, plus wtf is the government gunna do with 70 million dollars? they wont help the economy, thats for sure
@WinnerLottery2011 the cash value for tomorrows mega millions jackpot is 208.3 Million..
the women in the back as a mascot hahaha
The current tax withholding rates if you won the lottery are :
Federal withholding 25%
Federal backup withholding 28%
Federal Non-resident Alien withholding 30%
New York State withholding 8.97%
New York City withholding 3.876%
Yonkers withholding .897%
(Beginning 4/1/11, Yonkers withholding 1.3455%)
@iimdudits07 I kind of don't understand this. In Australia, we don't pay tax on our lottery winnings because each person who buys a lotto ticket pays a 10% gst (goods and services tax) or some other similar arrangement on the ticket, so the lottery winnings for the winner is free.
So great 👍
:04 to :10 the lottery ball costume is creepin
They take HALF off the top because they don't have the full money to do a payout. Majority of the LOTTO money is already spent on other things. So if you take the annuity, you get the full amount because they are paying you less than 10 million a year.
yes its me and a couple of friends of mines...you can send the money through paypal
This is very true. I knew a fellow in Florida back in 97 that won 8.3 million and he and his wife were in bankruptcy count in less that 4 years. It would seem that if the people who win this kind of money couldn't have made it by their own efforts, work, and innovation, they just can't control it as you say. The poor think poor and have little self discipline.
California won the MegaMillion's jackpot AGAIN:
SACRAMENTO - First they work together and now they’ve won together…big. Two lucky ladies from Southern California who work for an independent telephone company came forward this afternoon to claim a $64 million MEGA Millions jackpot. The pair matched all six numbers on July 16.
What is a collection agent
It is very hard to understand why these people go public. They can win a .50 cal also...
I can even hit a ball.
All the time the Megamillion's big jackpot winners are in New York, California and Georgia. Ummm....Why?
no, he took the cash option, which is lower than 133 million, then they took taxes out, 25 percent federal,3 percent state. which is 33 million.
You sure NY takes only 3%, try again ignoramus as it is easy enough to find tax info for any state.
Life begins
S Class Mercedes
Fishing Boat
Take care of my 2 Boys and family.
Enjoy enjoy my brotha.
hmm 133mill cash is 50 but 54mill is 30 pay out? He got shorted from previous winner
i would wear hobo clothes at my interview lol
There was one $64 million jackpot winner from California in the Friday, July 16, 2010 Mega Millions drawing.-> California won again, Why?
I hope this guy is still doing ok.
Yes he's fine.
God bless him.I m next:)
i won the lottery and im not joking but i didnt win a huge huge amount. i won like 15,000$ dollars on my first ticket and it was called Lavish Wealth. and guess what i still have like 6,000 of it left in a savings account.
That yellow ball freak should have a catch phrase.
Yeah they take tax out, but a least you not walking away empty handed. That's worse!!!!
if i won the lottery I would
1.Pay off all debts(loans, medical expenses, etc)
2.Invest in schooling of my choice
3. Maybe buy a decent car(not a celebrity type lambo or farrari)
4. Put my mother through school
5.Find out different charity organizations to donate too(serious ones)
6. Save the rest
other than all of this...seriously wth am i gonna do with 100 mil. Seriously I dont NEED much LOL
He got 50 mil?? But won $133 mil?? That's some bullshit
More than HALF taxed!!!
Look like the NYL more happy then the Men , they did not spent a penny but got How much ? 80 Millions WTF Kakakakka , what a fucking Government .
Here in the UK we pay no taxes on lottery win so if you win £100,000,000 it's all yours
NO. The 133M is an ANNUITY. He chose Cash which was 78 Million before taxes.
+hotties3v3n NO. The 133M is the annuity and he chose cash which means he only was taxed on the 78 Million that actually exists. The 55 Million difference is money that is created by the lottery as it invests the 78 Million. Federal taxes are 25% and NYS is 8.82%.
@VerseInfinitum well, TALKING doesn't mean anything....You are not the only one thinking that way, but most of them still went broke because of being sued or trying to help out their relatives or friends.
Wow $78,000,000 to taxes O_o what could they do with that?
$50 mil out of $133 million. That is some bullshit. That's close to half. WTF?
Sure hope you educated yourself since you posted that comment to realize the different values of what is shown and that of the actual cash value of which are before taxes as well as said tax rate for the year is which varies year to year.
i play mega millions and take five
not everday but most of the time you get
keep playing is your way to get out of inner-city brooklyn.
This was 2009. Wonder how much money he had left in almost 10 years later .
He's probably almost broke 🤣🤣
@@finthawap8815 nope. He's still got his money and is happy.
How u know ?
im not holding a press conference when i win
I am a millionaire
@MrAlexandreJuby LOL thats way to good.
paying huge amount of taxes is such bullshit.
If I ever won the Mega Millions Jackpot, first I would request my identity to be a New York City resident. If I had to appear to claim the ticket, I would weak a fake beard, a ten gallon hat, large sunglasses and some loose clothing. If I had to possess a name I could call myself Mr. Lucky. After that I would travel for about a year or more until the lotto fever dies down and someone else won the jackpot. I would keep a very low profile.
"Winning the lottery isn't always what it's cracked up to be," says Evelyn Adams, who won the New Jersey lottery not just once, but twice (2007, 2010), to the tune of $5.4 million. Today the money is all gone and Adams lives in a trailer.
Congrats 🎈
@dclaver2 Not unless you live in Nevada or Delaware or the other few states that dont take state taxes from lottery winnings... But you always gotta pay the federal taxes no matter where you live..
Now everyone knows who he is i would never show up I would want my money anonymous
nice....if i hit that shit iam gone i will move all my shit before i claim that money people be like damn were he go dont worry u aint going too see me again lol
I WANA A MILLION DOLLAR NOW...........I LOVE MONEY
Correct.
HOLY SHIT 60 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF TAXES....I WOULD BEEN LIKE FUCK THIS IM MOVING TO CANADA
@CommanderB9488 Where in the hell are you going to get a 35% return??
Yooooolanda needs to chill 😂
lol the whole day in a state of shock hahahaha
@iimdudits07 no its not.
50 mil....... that sucks
You can say that again brother.
+1
@TheRemedy2012 really? where do you live?
haha those lottery announcers rock! so New York-ish
why is the power ball creeping up like that? lol
@koollord
I will be wearing a mask when I win.
@steviegr36 Thats the mystery but ppl who r destined to be poor will forever be poor so no matter how much they win they will somehow sabotage that and go back to thier comfortable position subconsciously they r not destined to be rich
@steviegr36
some people spents out of control.
why the hell are they so many unbeliever's
yooooooooolanda veeeeeega!
@killratoss you are a wild man!
@steviegr36 people get greedy greedy greedy
I wouldn't even tell my friends, or at least nobody except real close ones. Why? Well, people with money are people with lots of friends(usually) and a girl. Sure, nothing against having a hot girl, but for what reason? ;)
I WILL NEVER SHOW MY FACE IF I WIN,...you know how many people would try to blackmail me....but then again theres an option of choosing to be known as one of the winners and not being known.....i rather be shady with it...
iM WINNING THE NEXT Mega Millions JackPot watch!
@steviegr36 hahha...lol... no mate... u see... what happens is.. instead of buying your son a celica worth thousands ... the winner buys his son ferrari worth millions... or for himself... a 500k house should be a good place to leave in... but they would prefer a 40 million dollar mension ... instead of shopping from regular shops.. people starts going to shops that charge them 60thousand dollars for a shoe... and if u arent a good money manager, u often risk losing it all mate !!
@CAZPERsayz
YES im 18 years old and spend all my money on tickets... Id hide it from everyone the best i can lmao
You guys wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world? 0:09
yeah most lottery winnerswind up declaring bankruptcy because someone rips them off or they cant control all that money
haha I know, I used to have a similar job - only now do I realise I looked like a numpty.
