January 27, 2007 -- A Queens granny working a grocery-store checkout counter won a huge pile of green when she scratched off a $1 million lottery ticket yesterday.
But "million-dollar baby" Peggie Wilkins went straight back to bagging groceries at the Waldbaum's in Bayside - just like she has done for the past 28 years.
"Is that $1,000?" Wilkins said she asked the worker, who quickly pointed out the extra zeros on the ticket.
"When I found out it was $1 million, I went crazy," she said.
