Lucky Manhattan player scores $100,000 Powerball prize
Manhattan, NY – A lucky New York Lottery player in Manhattan is holding a $100,000 winning Powerball Powerplay ticket from the October 6 drawing, lottery officials announced Tuesday.
The third-prize ticket was sold at Hansa Patel Newsstand, located at 988 Third Avenue in Manhattan. The winner matched four numbers plus the Powerball and opted for the Powerplay multiplier, boosting the prize to $100,000.
