1. $7 Million – The Cash4Life drawing on May 6, 2020, granted a family of six a total of $7 million after they decided that the lump-sum payment was the smartest choice. Each one of them had a ticket that resulted in $738,547 as a lump sum—no surprise in the fact that they will all pay mortgages and buy new homes.
2. $2 Million – Juan Then of Manhattan claimed a $2 million Mega Millions prize after matching five numbers for the drawing on June 9, 2020. He received that amount thanks to the Megaplier, making him the newest New York millionaire. With that money, he said he planned to invest and buy a new house.
3. $1 Million – Another New York Mega Millions winner was Roger Schrecongost of North Tonawanda, who won the $1 million second prize on July 14, 2020. Unlike the winner above, he did not become a millionaire, as the prize after taxes went down to $671,802. With that money, he said he would finally pay off his house. It seems that the residence is a major concern of New York residents.
4. $1 Million – Kitellen Milo of Pelham won the $1 million prize playing the Powerball game on March 28, 2020. She received $671,800 after tax withholdings but did not reveal much about her plans. She just said that it felt good to win the lottery.
