He may get more than 5 mil. From the original story:
"The lucky doorman actually won the prize May 2, when he bought a $10Set for Life instant ticket, which pays $5,000 a week for life and guarantees a minimum of $5 million. Winners get $65,000 every three months, or $41,926 after taxes." (emphasis, mine)
I agree on the anonymity thing. hmm... i thought the set for life has a MAXIMUM payout not minimum payout. I will have to look at the one here for TX.

Here's an example that's less than a year old.
"As the winner of the Lottery's Set For Life instant game, Gerard Wilson is guaranteed to receive a "Minimum Payout" of $5 Million dollars, to be paid in Quarterly installments for AS LONG AS HE LIVES."
From the New York lottery site. http://www.org/ny/nyStore/cgi-bin/WinnerNewsDetail_Cat_353_NavRoot_304_ProdID_1353993.htm
So, it looks like our beloved Doorman will be paid for quite some time. At least until he actually dies.
Good luck to him!

I dunno, but on one of her websites, it says she frequents New York due to her Modeling career. Well, he is a doorman at apparently quite an upscale Apt./Condo complex. There may be a tie-in somewhere!! But of course, I truly don't know. Your guess is probably better than mine!
