According to the New York Lottery, Noel Fuentes was a big winner. He won the top prize from the New York Lottery’s Set For Life scratch-off game. The game guarantees at least a $5 million dollar prize. That was exactly what Mr. Fuentes choose to claim. He took home the lump sum prize which after taxes netted him just over $2.3 million dollars.

The winning ticket was sold in Central Islip, and according to the New York Lottery, there are still six top-prize winning tickets out there for sale.
