Manhattan newsstand sells $30K winning TAKE 5 ticket in Sunday’s drawing
NEW YORK, NY – A routine lottery ticket purchase at a Midtown Manhattan newsstand turned into a $30,197 payday for one lucky TAKE 5 player following Sunday night’s drawing.
The top-prize winning ticket for the October 27 TAKE 5 Evening drawing was sold at Iqbal Hossain Newsstand, located at 345 Park Ave. in Manhattan. The ticket matched all five numbers drawn in the nightly game, earning its buyer the game’s top payout.
TAKE 5 draws from a pool of numbers 1 through 39 and is held twice daily at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Winning tickets must be claimed within one year of the draw date.
The New York Lottery, which oversees the TAKE 5 game, continues to generate revenue for education across the state. In the 2024–2025 fiscal year, the Lottery contributed $3.6 billion to support public schools throughout New York.
Sunday’s win adds to a growing list of recent small and mid-sized prize winners in the state. While not in the range of multi-million dollar jackpots, TAKE 5 continues to produce steady payouts for players willing to test their odds in the twice-daily draw.
Players who purchased tickets at the Park Avenue location are urged to check their slips carefully.
