Brooklyn man hits $10,000 a week for life lottery jackpot with ticket from corner store
Brooklyn, NY – A Brooklyn man just turned pocket change into a multimillion-dollar payout after winning one of the top prizes on the New York Lottery’s $10,000 A Week For Life scratch-off game, securing a guaranteed fortune for life.
Marc Klein of Kings County claimed the life-changing ticket purchased at NO7 Grocery on 18th Avenue in Brooklyn. Instead of weekly payments, Klein opted for a one-time lump sum of $4,372,060 after taxes and withholdings — locking in his win and walking away with millions upfront.
The $10,000 A Week For Life game is one of the Lottery’s highest-paying scratch-offs, offering a minimum guaranteed payout of $10 million. According to lottery officials, three top prizes remain on the game, and tickets are still in circulation statewide.
In the most recent fiscal year, New York Lottery scratch-off sales reached over $4.3 billion, and public school districts across New York City received more than $1.4 billion from Lottery Aid to Education funding.
The New York Lottery continues to lead as the highest-grossing lottery in North America, channeling billions into state education programs.
