NYS Gaming Commission Chairman Brian O’Dwyer said, "The Erie Canal Million-Dollar Raffle was a celebration of one of New York’s greatest achievements, and one of the many ways New York marked the Erie Canal's 200th anniversary, while simultaneously supporting our ongoing mission to fund public education across the Empire State. If you purchased a raffle ticket in Syracuse or Mayville last year, please check your pockets, drawers, and vehicles today so we can deliver your $25,000 prize before time runs out."
