FISHKILL – Belinda Poblete of Sloatsburg is $4.6 million richer
having won the $7 million CASH4LIFE state Lottery game.
She was at the Lottery’s Fishkill office on Thursday to claim her
$78 million ceremonial check from the Lottery’s Yolanda Vega
.
While she is an avid lottery player, she purchased a CASH4LIFE ticket
for the May 26 drawing on a whim.
She went to work the following day and got a call from her mother who
urged her to come home because she had picked all the winning numbers.
Belinda went home, checked the numbers online and “went numb. I
was so excited. It’s hard to explain; I just couldn’t believe
what I was seeing.”
She will take home the $4.6 million as a lump sum after taxes.
Poblete plans to pay off the mortgage, plan for the future and take a
vacation.
By the way, the winning numbers were 4-13-26-34-43 and Cash Ball 3.
