JAMAICA, NY — A single top-prize ticket worth $28,346.50 was sold for Saturday’s Take 5 evening drawing, according to the New York Lottery.
The winning ticket was purchased at Bolla 149-20 Rockaway Blvd, a gas station and convenience store located at 14920 Rockaway Boulevard in Jamaica, Queens.
Take 5 drawings are held twice daily at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., with numbers drawn from a field of one through 39. To win the top prize, a player must match all five numbers drawn.
