Unbelievable Fortune: Two Queens Residents Each Win $50,000 in Powerball!
QUEENS, N.Y. — Two lucky residents of Queens hit the jackpot with the Powerball lottery, taking home a nice third-place prize of $50,000 each. Imagine what a pleasant surprise it must be to start your weekend with a winning lottery ticket!
On this otherwise gloomy autumn day, two lottery players received the ultimate surprise. After all, who wouldn’t welcome an unexpected $50,000 boost to their bank account?
One of the winning tickets was bought at Tulip Card & Gift Corp, located at 158 Tulip Ave in Floral Park—a fitting name for such good fortune. The second ticket was sold at Fortune Hut Inc., a store located at 76-11 101st Ave in Ozone Park. Talk about living up to their name, too!
For those wondering how to win big, the Powerball game involves selecting numbers from a field of 69 white balls. You must also pick the Powerball number from a separate pool of 26 numbers. To snag the jackpot, all five white ball numbers, and the single red Powerball number must match exactly.
While the jackpot prize often reaches millions, landing a third-place prize with matching numbers for all the white balls still delivers a substantial reward of $50,000.
If you want to try your luck, Powerball tickets are available for just $2. You can purchase them seven days a week at any New York Lottery retailer. Be sure to get your ticket before 10 p.m. on the nights when the draw is held. And if you’re in a rush, grab your ticket earlier to avoid the late-night queues.
Powerball drawings are held three times a week—on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday—at 11 p.m. For those on the go, the New York Lottery app offers a secure and easy way to check your numbers without heading back to the store.
