MONROE, NY – A fortuitous turn of events unfolded for one Monroe local as the New York Lottery confirmed the sale of a third-prize-winning Powerball ticket for the drawing on February 3. The ticket, worth a substantial $50,000, was sold at Monroe Jiffy, located at 400 Route 17M.

This winning ticket shines a spotlight on Monroe, embedding a sense of excitement and possibility within the community. Monroe Jiffy, a familiar landmark for locals, is now a lucky lottery venue.
