BREWSTER, NY — A 70-year-old Brewster man has won $1 million in the New York Lottery. Martin Posner matched the first five numbers drawn for the September 13 CASH4LIFE drawing earning him his $1,000,000 second prize.

“I play the Lottery every week,” explained Posner. “I stopped into the pharmacy to buy my weekly tickets and one of them was the CASH4LIFE Quick Pick ticket.”

Posner went back to the store the next day when he realized the winning ticket was sold there. “I got a print out of the results and went home to check my ticket.” Posner was amazed when he realized he won the $1,000,000 second prize. “It was unbelievable!”

The winning CASH4LIFE numbers for the September 13 drawing were 21-26-42-51-59 Cash Ball 01.

Posner opted to receive his prize as a one-time lump sum payment and will receive a net check totaling $671,800 after required withholdings.

“There are things I can do now that I couldn’t do before,” Posner said. “My wife and I can now officially retire and move to Nevada.”

The winning ticket was purchased at the Community Pharmacy on Independent Way in Brewster.
