A lucky Powerball player in the Bronx has a reason to celebrate after purchasing a third-prize-winning ticket worth $50,000 for the Feb. 24 drawing, according to the New York Lottery.
The winning ticket was sold at Keilly Wine & Liquor, located at 2451 University Ave. in the Bronx. Another third-prize-winning ticket was sold in Brooklyn at L&E Grocery at 127 Albany Ave. Each ticket matched four numbers and the Powerball, earning the $50,000 prize.
The winning numbers for the Powerball game are drawn from a field of 1 to 69, with the red Power Ball drawn separately from a field of 1 to 26. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. and are televised live.
The New York Lottery, the largest and most profitable lottery in North America, contributed $3.8 billion in fiscal year 2023-24 to support public schools across the state.
