Lottery luck strikes Staten Island with TAKE 5 win

STATEN ISLAND, NY — One Staten Island lottery player is thousands of dollars richer after scoring a top-prize TAKE 5 ticket in Monday night’s drawing, according to the New York Lottery.

The winning ticket, worth $15,759.50, was purchased at 1351 Liquor Depot located at 1351 Forest Avenue. It was one of multiple top-prize tickets drawn during the Oct. 22 TAKE 5 Evening game.

TAKE 5 is a daily draw game where players pick five numbers from 1 to 39. Top prize amounts depend on the number of winning tickets and total sales for that draw. Evening and midday drawings are held at 10:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., respectively.
