Watch This 80-Year-Old Retired School Principal Collect His $326 Million Mega Millions Prize From The NY Lottery

MIDDLETOWN -- A retired elementary school principal has some bad weather to thank for winning a $326 million jackpot. Harold Diamond, 80, from Sullivan County was driving to Middletown with his wife on Election Day when the weather took a turn.

It's great to hear the story behind a win. While eating at the Subway shop in the Valero, retired elementary school principal Harold Diamond noticed the Mega Millions jackpot flashing on the Lottery terminal. The 80-year-old from Wurtsboro, New York, and his wife were waiting out a storm. So he decided to get ten $1 Quick Pick numbers for that evening's drawings. The rest is history.
