Abramov matched the winning numbers 1, 20, 28, 48 and 56, but missed the bonus ball 4 in Cash4Life draw on July 12th. Instead of collecting $1.000 per week for life, this thirty-three-year-old opted for a one-time lump sum payment instead. He ended up receiving a net cheque totalling to around $630.000 after required withholdings.

Abramov bought the winning ticket while visiting his father, because he felt particularly lucky that day. He made the purchase at the Mian Convenience and Deli on Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn, but it wasn’t specified why it took him this long to collect the money. He used a random set of numbers, but they proved to be good enough to win him more money than he ever had. Abramov will use this impressive sum to take care of his family.
