$26,000 Take5 Winner Sold at Capital Region Stewart’s Shop

A stop at Stewart’s usually means grabbing coffee, ice cream, or something you forgot at the grocery store. For one lucky Columbia County customer, it also came with a $26,000 surprise.

I'd say that's a pretty awesome Stewart's run.

A winning Take5 ticket for the Sunday, October 18th evening drawing was sold at the Stewart’s Shop at 2931 Route 9 in Valatie. Somebody has a very good reason to check their tickets.

What Were the Winning Numbers?

The lucky numbers were 3, 20, 27, 32, and 33.

If you bought a ticket at that Columbia County location, check your pockets, your purse, and that little pile of receipts in your car. There could be something much better than an old fast food receipt hiding in there worth over twenty-six thousand dollars.

How Does Take5 Work?

Take5 drawings happen twice daily, at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Players choose five numbers from 1 through 39, hoping to match all five.

The top prize depends on ticket sales and how many people have the winning combination. If multiple tickets match all five numbers, those winners split the prize.

Another Lucky Capital Region Stop

The Capital Region has seen other lucky purchases, too. A ticket worth $18,361 for the March 2nd midday drawing was sold at Cumberland Farms on Route 9 in Queensbury.

But this time, Valatie gets the bragging rights.

Imagine heading out for milk and coming home with a ticket worth more than $26,000. Talk about an upgrade.

There have been many winners throughout the Capital Region lately in all of the New York Lottery games.
