BRONX, NY — A lottery player who purchased a TAKE 5 ticket at a Bronx grocery store is holding a winning ticket worth $18,221 after matching all five numbers in a recent drawing.

The New York Lottery announced that one top-prize-winning ticket was sold for the June 1 TAKE 5 Midday drawing.

The winning ticket was purchased at Yafai Grocery Store Inc., located at 1769 Pitman Avenue in the Bronx.

Lottery officials said the ticket matched all five numbers drawn, earning the top prize of $18,221.

The identity of the winner has not been released, and it is unknown whether the prize has been claimed.

TAKE 5 numbers are drawn from a field of one through 39. Drawings are held twice daily and televised at approximately 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.

New York Lottery officials remind players that draw game prizes can be claimed for up to one year from the date of the drawing.
