Two third-place Powerball tickets were sold last night across New York, giving a trio of lucky players an extra $50,000 in their pockets — each.
The tickets were sold at the following two locations, according to a statement from the New York Lottery:
- Players Cafe, located on Bleeker Street in Manhattan
- Mirabito Convenience Store, located on New York State Route 23 in Norwich, New York.
The winning numbers for the Powerball game are drawn from a field of one to 69. The Powerball number is drawn from a separate field of one to 26. In order to win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball number.
Powerball tickets can be purchased at any New York Lottery retailer for $2, seven days a week. The deadline for purchasing a ticket is 10 p.m. on draw nights.
Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 11 p.m., and the New York Lottery urges players to buy tickets early to avoid last-minute lines.
Players can securely check their tickets on the New York Lottery app.
The New York Lottery continues to be North America’s largest and most profitable Lottery, contributing $3.8 billion in fiscal year 2023-2024 to benefit public schools in New York State.
