Two $9,618 winning Take 5 tickets sold in Newburgh and Staten Island

NEW YORK, NY – Two lucky New Yorkers each scored a $9,618 payday after winning top prizes in the August 15 Take 5 Midday drawing, according to the New York Lottery.

The winning tickets were sold at two separate locations across the state. One was purchased at Smokes 4 Less located at 59 North Plank Road in Newburgh, and the other at Apple Department Store II at 112 Canal Street on Staten Island.

The Take 5 game draws numbers twice daily from a field of 1 through 39 — once at 2:30 p.m. and again at 10:30 p.m. The $9,618 prize is the top payout for matching all five numbers in the midday drawing.

Winners have up to one year from the drawing date to claim their prize at any authorized New York Lottery claim center.

The New York Lottery remains the most profitable in North America, contributing $3.6 billion in revenue for public education in New York State for fiscal year 2024–2025.
