The New York Lottery announced that a top-prize winning ticket for the March 10 Take 5 Evening drawing was sold at Myrtle Minimart Inc. by the gas station, located at 64-40 Myrtle Ave. in Ridgewood. The winning ticket is worth $32,309.50.
Remarkably, this win comes just months after another lucky ticket was sold right across the street. On Dec. 27, 2024, a top-prize Take 5 Midday ticket worth $21,063 was purchased at Stop & Shop #0508, located at 64-66 Myrtle Ave. The two stores, separated only by a street, have now both produced winning Take 5 tickets within a span of just a few months.
Take 5 numbers are drawn from a field of one through 39, with drawings held twice daily at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Players have up to one year from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes.
The New York Lottery remains North America’s largest and most profitable lottery, contributing $3.8 billion in fiscal year 2023-2024 to benefit public schools across New York State.
