New York’s First Millionaire for Life Winner Sold in CNY
Central New York Just Got a Million-Dollar Surprise
Someone just became the first Empire State winner of the new Millionaire for Life game — and it happened in Central New York.
The winning ticket matched the numbers 03, 15, 16, 24, 28 + 04, and just like that… life changed completely for one lucky lottery player in Otsego County. Not “pay a few bills” changed. Not “take a nice vacation” changed. We’re talking a million dollars a year for life kind of changed.
Whoever bought a ticket at the Price Chopper on Main Street in Richfield Springs, you'd better check your numbers. You could be RICH!

So basically, Central New York didn’t just win — it made history.
And Just Like That…
No name has been released yet, but one thing is for sure: somewhere in Otsego County, someone is about to have a very different conversation this Memorial Day weekend.
The kind that starts with, “So… you’re not going to believe this.”
How would you spend a million dollars a year for the rest of your life?
