Local lottery winners to claim their prizes Thursday

Two Capital Region residents -- one from Albany, the other from Cobleskill -- will be awarded a total of $6 million in prizes on Thursday.

Both recently moved to the area to settle down.

The Albany winner -- a sales professional from Malone in Franklin County -- purchased a “Set For Life” ticket worth $5 million. The Cobleskill winner -- an entrepreneur from California -- purchased a $1 million “New York Poker” ticket in Cobleskill.

The two will claim their prizes during a check presentation Thursday at 10:30 a.m. at the Latham Circle Mobil on Troy Schenectady Road in Latham.
