Lucky numbers land one Long Island player a five-figure payday in Sunday night’s drawing
BAY SHORE, N.Y. — A routine stop at a Long Island convenience store turned into a $28,704.50 windfall after a top-prize winning TAKE 5 ticket was sold in Bay Shore for Sunday night’s New York Lottery drawing.
The New York Lottery announced Monday that one top-prize ticket matched all five numbers drawn in the June 22 TAKE 5 Evening drawing.
The winning ticket was purchased at the 7-Eleven located at 2320 Union Blvd. in Bay Shore. The ticket is worth $28,704.50.
Lottery officials did not release information about the ticket holder, and New York allows certain lottery winners to remain anonymous.
TAKE 5 numbers are drawn from a field of one through 39. The game holds drawings twice daily, with televised drawings at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.
