A retired Manhattan handyman can put his toolbox away after landing a record $476 million Mega Millions jackpot.

Johnnie Taylor, 71, of Howard Beach, cashed in his lucky ticket from the April 14 drawing this week, opting for a lump sum payment of a whopping $157 million after taxes, New York State Lottery officials announced on Monday.

“It still doesn’t feel real,” Taylor said.

The retired handyman said his wife thought he was joking when he delivered the good news — forcing him to go online and prove he had the winning numbers.

Taylor — who once worked in Manhattan highrises — said he bought the ticket at Liberty Beer and Convenience in Ozone Park, his usual stop for quick-pick Mega Millions and Power Ball games.

The store gets a $10,000 bonus just for selling the winning ticket, lottery officials said.

Taylor said he plans to use the winnings to buy a new home, do some traveling, donate to his local church and replace his aging 2012 Prius with a new hybrid model.

The winning numbers were 23-27-41-48-51 with a Mega Ball number of 22, lottery officials said.

Taylor’s prize is the biggest Mega Millions hit in the Empire State since the game launched in 2002 — surpassing a $437 million jackpot ticket sold in Huntington in 2019.

“The New York Lottery congratulates Mr. Taylor on winning this historic jackpot, the sales for which brought millions of dollars to New York’s public schools and lottery retailers across the state,” state Gaming Commissioner Chairman Brian O’Dwyer said in a statement.

The Mega Millions jackpot increased 21 times before Taylor hit it.

In all, the drawing ended up raising more than $21 million for state education, $4.1 million in commissions for lottery retailers and paid out more than $10 million in non-jackpot prizes to players.

While most of the money raised by the lottery is rolled back into jackpots for its various games of chance, the money from lottery ticket sales adds millions of dollars to the state education budget.

In the 2021-2022 fiscal year, the lottery contributed $3.6 billion in school aid, agency data shows.
