Someone in the Capital Region holds a winning lottery ticket worth over one hundred twenty-seven thousand dollars. The drawing happened Saturday night, May 14th for the New York LOTTO.

A $21,000 winning Take 5 Midday ticket from the New York Lottery for the game on Friday, May 13, 2022 was sold at Price Chopper in Utica.

There is that old saying, 'when you're hot, you're hot.' Sometimes it just goes that way. Well, a small smoke shop in New York is red hot! They have sold 4 winning lottery tickets for more than $50,000 since Christmas and the biggest was a monster prize!

When it comes to games of chance, percentages and odds always play out. That is why most casinos don't go out of business. And the ones that do, have something wrong with their numbers. Take that as you may. So when one upstate New York lottery dealer sells 3 multi-state Powerball winning tickets in less than two months, something is going right. The numbers appear to be playing out well at a New York Lottery dealer in the town of Fishkill, New York.

Schenectady resident and New York Lottery spokesperson Yolanda Vega is retiring after 32 years. She is well known throughout New York state for the theatrical way she said her name before each lottery drawing. "I'm Yoooolaanda Vega!" She said that her signature way to say her name came about after she had a lot of espresso before one of the drawings when she was just six months in. After that night, she continued to do it for the next 32 years. Yolanda started with the New York Lottery back in 1990. Take a look at her through the years.

Check your tickets if you play the Take-5 game from the New York State Lottery. There was a huge payout that someone can claim if you bought the ticket at a certain Cumberland Farms convenience store in Rensselaer County.

Check your lottery tickets. There was a winning ticket sold in the Capital Region on Tuesday night. Could you be holding the one million dollar ticket?

Here we go again! Your chance to win a half a billion dollars tonight in the Mega Millions drawing. You probably shouldn't even play because it is my turn to win the big money.

I play the lottery every so often and hope for that big win. Actually, I believe that someday I will hit a huge jackpot. But for now, there is someone in the Capital Region that is holding onto a big winner.

I never understand how people don't collect their lottery prizes. This one is an enormous New York Lotto jackpot that could go unclaimed if not turned in by next Thursday.

There are people like me, who have a hard time spending the extra on scratch off tickets because we realize our likely hood of winning is slim. But, as they say, all you need is a dollar and a dream, right?

There is a new lottery game you can play on your phone in tandem with a regular scratch ticket.
