Quiet Millwood shop sells TAKE 5 ticket that lights up lottery night
Millwood, NY – A low-key stop at a neighborhood drug store turned into a sudden payday after a TAKE 5 ticket sold in Millwood hit for more than $10,000, making it the standout win of a multi-city lottery night.
The New York Lottery announced that one top-prize winning ticket for the TAKE 5 Evening drawing was sold at Drug Mart, located at 230 Saw Mill River Road in Millwood. The ticket is worth $10,058.50.
While additional top-prize tickets were also sold in Rochester and Yonkers, the Millwood win marked a notable hit for the small Westchester hamlet, where big lottery prizes are far less common than in major cities.
TAKE 5 numbers are drawn from a field of one through 39, with drawings held twice daily at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Lottery officials said prizes of any amount must be claimed within one year of the drawing date.
