Surprise Powerball win for Walmart customer in Brockport

$50K Powerball winner scores big at Brockport Walmart

Brockport, NY — One lucky shopper at a Walmart Supercenter in Brockport walked away with a $50,000 payday this week after hitting the third prize in the September 20 Powerball drawing.

The winning ticket was sold at the Walmart located at 6265 Brockport Spencerport Road, according to the New York Lottery. The player matched four white balls plus the red Powerball, a combination that secures the game’s third-tier prize.

Powerball numbers are drawn every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m., offering millions in potential winnings to players across the country. The winning numbers for this draw have not yet been publicly linked to a claimed prize, and officials have not confirmed whether the Brockport winner has stepped forward.

This latest win comes as the New York Lottery continues to generate billions in funding for public education. In the last fiscal year, lottery proceeds contributed $3.6 billion to New York State schools, making it the most profitable lottery in North America.

The odds of winning the $50,000 Powerball prize—by matching four white balls and the Powerball—are roughly 1 in 913,000. The identity of the winner remains unknown.
