MANHATTAN, NY – A Powerball ticket worth $50,000 was sold in Manhattan for Wednesday night’s drawing, the New York Lottery announced Thursday.
The winning third-prize ticket was purchased at NUCARE Pharmacy & Surgical, located at 1789 1st Avenue. The ticket matched four white balls and the red Powerball in the July 16 drawing.
The Powerball drawing is held three times a week—Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday—at 10:59 p.m. The winning numbers are drawn from a field of one to 69, with the red Powerball drawn from a separate field of one to 26.
The New York Lottery remains the most profitable in North America, generating $3.8 billion in the last fiscal year to support public education across the state.
