Two $50K Powerball wins in one borough spark fresh jackpot fever in Queens.

FLUSHING, N.Y. — A pair of lucky Powerball players in Queens struck third-prize gold this week, each snagging $50,000 in Monday night’s drawing.

Key Points

The winning tickets were sold at two separate locations, according to the New York Lottery. One was purchased at Stop & Go Convenience, located at 42-39 Main Street in Flushing. The second was sold at Mobil Mart at 165-01 Hillside Avenue in Jamaica.

The tickets matched four of the five white balls and the red Powerball drawn on Monday night. The winning numbers were pulled from a field of 69 for the white balls and 26 for the red Powerball.
