OYSTER BAY, N.Y.<\/strong> – There may be a new millionaire on Long Island<\/a>, as a ticket sold in Hicksville won the nearly $14 million jackpot<\/a> in the Christmas Eve drawing.<\/p>\n Christmas Eve jackpot <\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n The winning New York LOTTO ticket was sold at Lovely Cards and Gifts on South Oyster Bay Road in Hicksville. The drawing was Wednesday night, Dec. 24, at 8:15 p.m.<\/p>\n The winning New York LOTTO numbers were:<\/p>\n 4, 11, 23, 38, 41, 49<\/strong> and the bonus number was 26<\/strong><\/p>\n The winning ticket matched all six numbers, but not the bonus number.<\/p>\n Nine other lucky winners were able to match five of the winning numbers, good for a $2,093 prize.<\/p>\n Dig deeper:<\/p>\n This $13.9 million prize in New York was drawn on the same night that a Powerball ticket sold in Arkansas<\/a> won a $1.8 billion jackpot, the fourth-biggest lottery prize in U.S. history.<\/p>\n What’s next:<\/p>\n New York LOTTO drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 8:15 p.m. Saturday night’s drawing will be for an estimated $2 million jackpot.<\/p>\n What we don’t know:<\/p>\n The winning ticket holder has not yet been identified. Since the prize is more than $600, the ticket holder will need to visit a New York Lottery Customer Service Center or Prize Claim Center, and bring their winning ticket, a filled out Winner Claim Form (which can be downloaded from the New York Lottery website<\/a>), a valid government-issued ID and a valid Social Security Number or FEIN.<\/p>\n If your prize is $600 or more, you can claim it at any New York Lottery Customer Service Center, Prize Claim Center or by mail. See details on each method below.<\/p>\n New York is one of several states that does not allow lottery winners to remain anonymous if their jackpot is greater than $5,000, but there are several pieces of legislation in the State Assembly and Senate trying to change that.<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n The Source:<\/b> Information in this story is from the New York Lottery and the Associated Press.<\/p>\n Lottery<\/a>Money<\/a>Oyster Bay<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OYSTER BAY, N.Y. – There may be a new millionaire on Long Island, as a ticket sold in…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":471256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,6084,6411,6459,7834,405,403,50,5226,5225,5228,5227,185070,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-471255","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-long-island","10":"tag-lottery","11":"tag-money","12":"tag-nassau-county","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-city","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-newyork","17":"tag-newyorkcity","18":"tag-ny","19":"tag-nyc","20":"tag-oyster-bay","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115781650093829821","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
