Brooklyn Powerball ticket hits for $50K as jackpot fever grips New York
BROOKLYN, NY – A Powerball ticket sold at a Brooklyn gas station matched four white balls and the red Power Ball in the December 10 drawing, scoring a $50,000 third-tier prize for one lucky player.
The winning ticket was sold at Bolla Operating, located at 2228 Gerritsen Avenue in the Marine Park section of Brooklyn, according to New York Lottery officials. The player came within one number of landing the game’s soaring jackpot, which has drawn heavy interest statewide.
The winning numbers were selected from a field of 69 for the white balls and a separate field of 26 for the red Power Ball. Drawings are held three times a week — Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday — at 10:59 p.m. and are broadcast live.
This $50,000 prize is one of several recent Powerball wins in New York as the jackpot continues to climb with no top prize winner in sight. While this player didn’t hit the multi-million-dollar jackpot, the third-prize win remains a significant payday for a simple stop at a neighborhood retailer.
The New York Lottery continues to lead North America in lottery revenue, with $3.6 billion contributed to public education during the most recent fiscal year. Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
