ALBANY, N.Y. — The New York Lottery announced that two Powerball players won $50,000 each in the June 16 drawing after purchasing third-prize tickets in Brooklyn and Sidney.
One winning ticket was sold at Jimy Candy Grocery Inc, located at 8317 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn. The other was sold at Mirabito #35-Sidney at 112 Delaware Avenue in Sidney.
Each ticket matched four of the five white balls and the red Power Ball, securing the third-tier prize of $50,000.
Powerball drawings are held three times a week — every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Winning numbers are drawn from a pool of one to 69 for the white balls, and one to 26 for the red Power Ball.
