Lockport man becomes county’s 17th lottery millionaire

Paul Schneider has no plans to go quitting his job, even after pulling in a cool million from the New York Lottery.

With the winds whipping and a throng of media snapping pictures, Schneider became Niagara County’s 17th person to win at least a million smackers when he was awarded the prize on Tuesday at Noco Express Mini Mart on South Transit Road in Lockport.

Schneider got a scratch off Big Bills ticket, realized he’d matched a winner, then called his girlfriend and then his mother to tell them the good news.

After taxes, Schneider will get $33,091 per year through 2031.
