$1 million Powerball ticket sold on Upper East Side
MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) - One lucky New Yorker won big in Saturday's Powerball drawing to the tune of $1 million.
The winning second-prize ticket was sold at an Upper East Side shop on Second Avenue near East 72nd Street, according to the New York Lottery.
The Powerball top prize is up to a whopping $532 million for Monday's drawing, and the odds of winning equally as outstanding with only one in every 292,201,338 players winning.
The second-place, $1 million prize was just as rare, with only one in every 11,688,053 players winning.
In Friday's TAKE 5 drawing, one winner took home a $40,480 ticket from a Queens store.
