A woman from Suffolk County just had a moment most people only dream about — a life-changing lottery win that’s set her up for the long run.
Roshane Davis of Nesconset hit big in New York’s Cash4Life game, landing the second-tier prize of $1,000 a week for life. That prize guarantees at least $1 million, making it a seriously sweet payday.
Here’s how it went down:
- She matched the first five numbers in the December 31, 2025 drawing
- Winning numbers: 07, 10, 21, 35, 49 + Cash Ball 01
- Ticket was bought at Players Café on Bleeker Street in Manhattan
Instead of collecting weekly payments, Davis chose to take the cash upfront. After required taxes, she walked away with a lump sum of $648,102.
And this isn’t just a win for one person — the lottery plays a big role across the state too. During the fiscal year 2024–2025:
- Cash4Life brought in over $110 million in sales
- Schools in Suffolk County received more than $314 million in education funding
- The New York Lottery contributed a massive $3.6 billion to public schools statewide
Big win, bigger impact.
