New York Lottery: 2 winning Take 5 tickets sold on LI
The two top prize-winning Take 5 tickets drawn Tuesday were bought on Long Island, New York Lottery officials said — one ticket sold in Massapequa, the other in Selden.
The identities of the winners were not immediately known, since neither has come forward. Officials said each winning ticket was worth $33,658.50 and said one was sold at the Getty gas station at 975 North Broadway in Massapequa, while the other was sold at Alina Cards at 217 Selden Plaza.
The winning tickets matched all five numbers. The winning numbers, drawn from a set of 39 available numbers every day at 11:21 p.m., were 06-08-13-22-28, officials said.
Additionally, 266 players statewide had tickets with four of the five drawn numbers correct.
Those tickets are each worth $379.50.
In total, there were 98,700 Take 5 winners on Tuesday.
Winners can claim their prizes at any of the Lottery’s Customer Service Centers statewide, including Long Island offices at 45 South Service Rd., Plainview, and Resorts World Casino New York City at 110-00 Rockaway Blvd., Jamaica, Queens.
