Two lucky Powerball players in Queens are holding third-prize-winning tickets worth $50,000 each following the drawing on Sunday, April 7, the New York Lottery announced on Tuesday.
One winning ticket was sold at Stop & Go Convenience, located at 42-39 Main Street in Flushing, while the second was sold at Mobil Mart, located at 165-01 Hillside Avenue in Jamaica.
Queens has experienced a streak of lottery luck in recent months. Notably, on Dec. 7, 2024, a Powerball ticket worth $256 million was sold at Hua Lian Supermarket in Flushing.
The winning numbers for the April 7 drawing were selected from a field of one to 69, with the red Powerball drawn separately from a field of one to 26. Powerball drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. and are televised across the state.
The New York Lottery remains the most profitable lottery in North America, contributing $3.8 billion in the 2023–2024 fiscal year to support public education across New York State.
