STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — One lucky winner picked up their second-place Powerball ticket seemingly during a grocery store run.
The winner scored their lucky ticket at a Stop & Shop in Queens’ Springfield Gardens, aptly located at 134-40 Springfield Blvd.
The ticket, worth $1,000,000, is Powerball’s second-place prize.
The drawing took place Saturday night. With no first-place prize winners, the Powerball jackpot has skyrocketed to $750 million.
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.

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.
