Brooklyn store sells $31K winning TAKE 5 lottery ticket in Sunday night drawing
Brooklyn, NY – A quiet Sunday night turned into a life-changing moment for one lucky New Yorker who scored a top-prize TAKE 5 ticket worth over $31,000 after purchasing it from a local neighborhood store in Sunset Park.
The New York Lottery confirmed that one top-prize winning ticket for the TAKE 5 Evening drawing held on Sunday was sold at Fresh Green Farm, a grocery store located at 6002 5th Avenue in Brooklyn. The ticket matched all five numbers drawn, earning the buyer a prize of exactly $31,290.
The winning numbers were drawn from a pool of one through 39 during the nightly 10:30 p.m. televised event. TAKE 5 holds two daily drawings — once in the afternoon at 2:30 p.m., and again in the evening — giving players multiple chances to win daily.
Winners have up to one year from the date of the drawing to claim their prize. The identity of the winner has not yet been released, and it’s unclear whether the lucky player has already come forward.
The New York Lottery remains the highest-grossing lottery in North America, funneling billions annually into education. In the most recent fiscal year, it contributed $3.6 billion to public schools across the state.
