Lottery winner hits jackpot at Fairport grocery store

$30K winning Take 5 ticket sold at Wegmans in Fairport

FAIRPORT, NY – One lucky shopper walked away a whole lot richer after snagging a top-prize Take 5 ticket worth $30,180.50 in Sunday night’s drawing, according to the New York Lottery.

The winning ticket for the September 22 Take 5 evening draw was sold at Wegmans #24, located at 6600 Pittsford Palmyra Road in Fairport. The ticket matched all five numbers drawn from a pool of 1 to 39, securing the full top prize.

Take 5 drawings are held twice daily, at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., giving players two chances each day to win. Tickets can be claimed for up to one year from the date of the draw.

The winner’s identity has not yet been made public, and it remains unclear whether the prize was claimed immediately or if the ticket is still in circulation. Lottery officials did not release the winning numbers from the drawing.

Fairport’s Wegmans location joins a growing list of New York retailers that have sold top-prize Take 5 tickets this month.

The New York Lottery remains the most profitable lottery system in North America, with proceeds supporting public education throughout the state.
