Mocobizscene- Just in time for the holidays, two fortunate individuals have recently come forward to claim their winnings from the games offered by the New York Lottery. Following the necessary tax deductions, the total value of the prizes won by these gentlemen exceeds an impressive $10 million.
Robert Goldup of Schenectady was thrilled to claim his prize from the Cash4life tickets he had purchased in September. On December 15th, he visited the Speedway station in Schenectady, where he had bought the winning ticket.
On September 19, Goldup decided to try his luck with the lottery by purchasing five sets of numbers. He stuck with the same five numbers for four games, but for the fifth game, he decided to switch it up and chose a different number for the Cash Ball. As luck would have it, the winning numbers for that evening’s drawing turned out to be 02, 03, 06, 18, and 19, with the Cash Ball being 01.
Goldup’s strategy led to him winning a remarkable First Prize of $7,000 a Day For Life, along with three Second Prizes that amounted to an additional $1,000 A Week For Life each.
In the New York Cash4life game, the first prize ensures a minimum payout of $7,000,000, while the second prize guarantees a minimum payout of $1,000,000.
Goldup made the decision to receive the cash equivalent of his annuitized prizes. This choice led to a single lump sum payment of $6,479,964 after the necessary withholdings were considered.
Last week, another fortunate individual made their way to New York Lottery headquarters and left as a big winner. Patrick Smith, hailing from North Syracuse, experienced life-changing luck when he purchased a scratch-off ticket that instantly made him a millionaire.
A lucky winner, John Smith managed to secure the grand prize of $10,000 per week for life through a scratch-off game offered by the New York Lottery. This life-changing ticket was purchased at a Circle K store in Oneida.
The ticket ensures that Smith will receive a minimum payout of $10,000,000 before taxes. After careful consideration, Smith opted to receive a single lump sum payment of $4,280,973 after taxes.
