View Date:2024-12-23 22:54:39
Recently, New Yorkers have visited the New York Lottery to claim their million-dollar prizes from past Powerball and Mega Millions lotteries.
Justo Hilerio from the Bronx won $1 million in Powerball by matching five white balls on July 17. The winning numbers were 05, 08, 09, 17, and 41, and Powerball was 21.
He bought his ticket at Fairfield Food, located at 2525 3rd Avenue in the Bronx. Hilerio received a one-time lump sum payment of $612,240 after taxes.
Hilerio wasn't the only person to claim a million-dollar prize from the New York lottery. Officials say 10 people from a lottery group came into the New York Lottery headquarters to claim their winnings from a Powerball drawing.
Ten players from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut split $1 million in Mega Millions by matching the first five numbers on July 28.
The ticket was bought at Millenium Smoke and News on 2345 Broadway in Manhattan. The winning numbers for the July 28th draw were 5, 10, 28, 52, 63, and the Mega Ball number was 18.
The New York Lottery announced the 10 who are splitting the $1 million prize:
- Kevin Forde of Fairfield, CT
- Mark Diaz of the Bronx
- Joe Garcia of Manhattan
- Gonzalo Paredes Carmona of Staten Island
- Peter Dempsey of Yonkers
- Reginald Fields of Manhattan
- Johnny Cosme of Stratford, CT
- Monica Dias of Jersey City, NJ
