Cobleskill Woman is Set for Life

SHARON SPRINGS - Jessica Terpenning, of Cobleskill, recently claimed the top prize in the Set For Life scratch-off game, scoring $5,000 a week for life.

Rather than collecting the cash over time, she opted for the lump sum payout, walking away with $3,367,702 after required withholdings, according to officials at the New York Lottery.

Ms. Terpenning purchased the winning ticket at Stewart’s Shops at 526 Highway 20 in Sharon Springs.

The Set For Life scratch-off comes with a guaranteed minimum payout of $5 million. As of this writing, five top prizes remained on the game.

The New York Lottery generated more than $4.3 billion in scratch-off sales during the last fiscal year, contributing nearly $5.8 million in aid to Schoharie County school districts alone, Lottery officials said.
