$50K Capital Region Powerball Winner: Is It You?

Is it you? Someone in the Capital Region is holding a fifty-thousand-dollar Powerball winning ticket. It was sold at a deli in Rensselaer County for the Wednesday, September 16th drawing.

The Wednesday, September 16th, Powerball jackpot was $271,000,000. Even though there was no first-place winner, a neighborhood corner deli in Troy sold a $50,000 third-place ticket.

Why Is the Third Prize Worth $50,000?

According to the New York State Lottery, you win fifty thousand dollars if you match four numbers and the Powerball. The odds of doing that are 1 in 913,129! The numbers were 2, 21, 24, 25, 64, and the Powerball was 7.

Where was the 3rd-place winning Powerball Ticket Sold?

The third-prize ticket worth $50,000 was sold at 4 Star Deli, located at 273 4th St. in Troy.

How Do You Win The Powerball?

Powerball numbers are drawn from a field of one to 69, and the red Powerball is drawn from a separate field of one to 26. Drawings are televised every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m.

It's just more proof that whether you are stopping for a sandwich, getting some essentials, or going in for something quick, you could walk out holding a life-changing ticket.
