ISLANDIA, NY — A routine visit to a Long Island 7-Eleven turned into a five-figure win for one lucky lottery player who purchased a TAKE 5 ticket worth $15,762 in Thursday night’s drawing.

The top-prize winning ticket was sold at 7-Eleven, located at 1224 Old Nichols Road in Islandia. The win came from the TAKE 5 Evening draw held on October 23 at 10:30 p.m., one of two daily drawings held by the New York Lottery.
