$50,000 Powerball Winner Sold at North Babylon Gas Station

New York wasn’t among the luckiest states in Wednesday night’s historic $1.6 billion jackpot Powerball drawing: that honor goes to California, Florida and Tennessee, where jackpot-winning tickets were sold, but 19 people who bought tickets on Long Island won prizes ranging from $50,000 to $1 million, the New York Lottery announced Thursday.

The $1 million ticket, among five second-prize tickets in New York for matching 5 of 6 numbers (4, 8, 19, 27, 34) and just missing the Powerball number (10), was sold at the 7-Eleven located at 25 Stewart Ave. in Bethpage.

In last Saturday’s Powerball drawing, 10 Long Islanders won prizes between $50,000 and $1 million. Those winning locations were announced on Monday.

New York Lottery officials are encouraging those who bought a Powerball ticket to check their tickets again, as they could be holding a winner. Tickets expire one year after the game’s drawing.

Winners may claim the tickets at any one of the lottery’s customer service centers statewide, including the Long Island office at 45 South Service Road in Plainview. Prizes under $600 can be claimed at any lottery retailer.
