Imagine waking up every day knowing you've won $1,000. That's the reality for one lucky New York Lottery player who purchased a winning CASH4LIFE ticket at Smokes 4 Less on 59 North Plank Rd in Newburgh.

The ticket matched all five winning numbers (05, 07, 12, 34, 60) and the Cash Ball (03) drawn on Thursday, October 10, landing the lucky winner a life-changing $1,000 a day for life prize, with a current cash value of $7 million.

Not only did one player win the grand prize, but four players also won $2,500 each by matching four white balls and the Cash Ball. In total, over 10,000 players won cash prizes ranging from $2 to $500.

Could you be the big winner? Check your tickets! Winning CASH4LIFE tickets expire one year from the draw date.

Before October 10, the last lucky CASH4LIFE player was in Brewster, New York. They won $1,000 a day for life on August 30. The winning ticket was purchased at the Hess Mart located at 1569 Route 22.
