Manhattan liquor store sells $31K winning Take 5 ticket in late-night drawing

MANHATTAN, NY – A lucky lottery player is waking up over $31,000 richer after purchasing a top-prize winning ticket for the Take 5 Evening drawing on Monday night from a neighborhood wine and liquor shop in Harlem.

The $31,408.50 winning ticket was sold at Wendy’s Wine & Liquors, located at 2651 8th Ave, according to officials with the New York Lottery. The winning numbers were drawn during the 10:30 p.m. broadcast of the twice-daily Take 5 game.

Take 5 players pick five numbers from 1 to 39 for each play. Drawings take place every day at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., with prizes awarded to those who match between two and five numbers. The top prize fluctuates based on the number of tickets sold and winners per draw.

The identity of the winner has not yet been revealed, but whoever matched all five numbers now has up to one year to claim the prize.

The New York Lottery continues to be the most profitable in North America, contributing $3.6 billion last fiscal year to help fund public education across the state.

Those experiencing problems related to gambling are encouraged to seek support through the HOPEline or NYProblemGamblingHelp.org.
