STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Two lottery winners are bringing home $50,000 each after buying separate third-place Powerball tickets in New York.
Saturday night’s drawing revealed that dual winners — one in Brooklyn and one in Middleport — are going to be enjoying some extra cash in the bank to wrap up the summer.
In Brooklyn, the winning ticket was purchased at Sunny Gourmet Deli Inc, which can be found at 153 Joralemon St.
Meanwhile in Middleport, that winning ticket was purchased at On the Ridge Market, aptly located at 9202 Ridge Rd.
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.
