Take 5 top prize ticket sold in the Bronx

Bronx, NY – A neighborhood check-cashing business in the Bronx turned into a winning stop Thursday night after a Take 5 ticket matched all five numbers in the evening drawing.

The New York Lottery announced that one top-prize winning ticket was sold for the Thursday Take 5 Evening drawing. The ticket was purchased at The Check Cashing Place, located at 5625 Broadway in the Bronx, and is worth $31,093.50.

Take 5 numbers are drawn from a field of one through 39, with drawings held twice daily at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Lottery officials said prizes from any draw game may be claimed up to one year from the date of the drawing.

The identity of the winner will not be known until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated.

The New York Lottery reported it remains North America’s largest and most profitable lottery, contributing $3.6 billion during the 2024–2025 fiscal year to benefit public schools across New York State.

Help is available for New Yorkers struggling with gambling addiction or those concerned about someone else’s gambling. Resources include NYProblemGamblingHelp.org, the confidential HOPEline at 1-877-8-HOPENY (1-877-846-7369), or by texting HOPENY (467369).
