New York, NY – A top-prize-winning TAKE 5 ticket worth $31,039.50 was sold in Manhattan for Sunday evening’s drawing, according to the New York Lottery. The ticket was purchased at Liquors, located at 1492 St Nicholas Avenue.

The winning ticket matched all five numbers drawn in the TAKE 5 evening game, which is held daily at 10:30 p.m. Numbers are selected from a field of one through 39.

Lottery officials noted that prizes from TAKE 5 drawings can be claimed within one year. “A Lottery draw game prize of any amount may be claimed up to one year from the date of the drawing,” the New York Lottery stated.

The TAKE 5 game offers two daily drawings at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., giving players multiple opportunities to win each day. The Manhattan ticket secured the top prize for the evening drawing on April 6.
