Newburgh smoke shop sells winning Cash4Life ticket worth $1,000 a week for life
NEWBURGH, NY – A routine lottery stop turned into a life-changing moment for one lucky player who purchased a second-prize-winning ticket in Sunday night’s Cash4Life drawing — good for $1,000 a week for life.
The New York Lottery confirmed Monday that the ticket, with a guaranteed minimum payout of $1 million, was sold at Smokes 4 Less on 59 North Plank Road in Newburgh. The winner has yet to come forward.
The September 22 drawing produced the high-tier winner from a game that offers lifetime payouts to lucky players who match all five numbers plus the Cash Ball. In this case, the winning ticket matched all five numbers but missed the Cash Ball, securing the second prize of $1,000 weekly for life.
Cash4Life drawings occur daily at approximately 9 p.m., with players choosing five numbers from 1 to 60 and a separate Cash Ball number from 1 to 4. Winners have one year from the date of the drawing to claim their prize.
As of Tuesday, lottery officials have not released the identity of the winner, and it remains unknown whether the ticket was purchased by a local resident or someone passing through the area.
The New York Lottery is the most profitable lottery in North America, contributing billions annually to support public education throughout the state. The latest winning ticket adds to a growing list of life-altering wins across the region.
