Brooklyn convenience store sells $17K winning TAKE 5 ticket in midday drawing

Brooklyn, NY – A lucky New York Lottery player is holding a winning TAKE 5 ticket worth $17,370.50 after purchasing it at a neighborhood shop in Brooklyn, officials announced Wednesday.

The ticket matched all five numbers in the TAKE 5 MIDDAY drawing held on Tuesday, August 26. It was sold at Mill Basin Convenience Store, located at 6122 Avenue U — a familiar stop for many local players in the Mill Basin section of Brooklyn.

TAKE 5 draws twice daily, at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., with winning numbers selected from a field of one through 39. The top prize varies depending on the number of winners and total ticket sales.

The prize must be claimed within one year of the draw date. Lottery officials did not disclose whether the winner has come forward.

The New York Lottery remains the most profitable in North America, contributing billions to support public education across the state.
