Winning lottery ticket sold in Oceanside

Lottery players on Long Island won millions of dollars on the record-breaking Jan. 9 Powerball with 10 winning tickets ranging from $50,000 to $1 million, including one $50,000 sold at King Oceanside C-Store on Long Beach Road.

The largest winning ticket was a $1 million Powerball second prize sold at Mr. Tobacco in Smithtown. In addition, a $150,000 ticket sold at Broadway Service Center in Hicksville. Other winning tickets worth $50,000 each were sold at Kings Oceanside C-Store; Citgo in Mineola; 7-Eleven in Long Beach; Centereach Deli in Centereach; Stop & Shop in Medford; Stop & Shop in West Babylon; Huntington Shell in Huntington; and Jinal Card & Gift in Nesconset.

“While no one hit the jackpot prize, dozens of New Yorkers are vastly richer thanks to Powerball,” said Gardner Gurney, Director of the Division of the Lottery. “New Yorkers are cashing-in big time on history.” The Lottery encourages everyone who buys a New York Lottery draw game ticket to check their tickets again, as they could be holding a winner. Tickets expire one year after the game’s drawing.

The winners may claim the tickets at any one of the Lottery’s Customer Service Centers statewide, including the Long Island office at 45 South Service Road, Plainview or at Resorts World Casino New York City, 110-00 Rockaway Blvd., Jamaica.

This history-making Powerball jackpot has skyrocketed sales statewide to $155.8 million for drawings leading up to and including the drawing on Jan. 9.
