A Brooklynite who chose
to test their luck on Thursday
after Hurricane Ida’s
fl ooding can cash in after
winning almost $25,000
from the New York State
Lottery.
The winning Take 5
ticket was purchased at a
convenience store inside the
Flatlands Shopping Center
on Ralph Avenue between
Flatlands Avenue and Avenue
J for the Sept. 2 midday
drawing, the New York
State Lottery announced
Friday.
The ticket buyer was the
only winner with all fi ve
numbers — 3, 12, 18, 23, 36
— to show up in the midday
drawing giving the unnamed
person the top prize
totaling $24,442. That’s
thousands more in prize
money than the 91 secondplace
winners with four
matching numbers, who
won $402 each.
An owner of the store
told Brooklyn Paper he was
thrilled for the big winner.
“We are a lucky store,”
he said, adding that the
shop sells a lot of lottery
tickets to local chance-takers.
“We are very happy for
the winner.”
Take 5 draws fi ve numbers
between 1 and 39 twice
daily for a midday drawing
at 2:30 pm, and an evening
drawing at 10:30 pm, players
choose which drawing
to play when purchasing
their ticket.
The New York State Lottery
reportedly contributed
$3.59 billion to support the
state education system in
the fi scal year 2020-21.
