Newburgh, NY — A Powerball player in Orange County is holding a third-prize-winning ticket worth $50,000 after matching four white balls and the red Powerball in the December 6 drawing.
The New York Lottery confirmed that the winning ticket was sold at Smokes 4 Less, located at 59 North Plank Road in Newburgh. The ticket matched enough numbers to earn the $50,000 prize — just one number short of the game’s multimillion-dollar jackpot.
