A New York ticket has won a $1 million second‑place prize in Sunday’s Powerball drawing, while the jackpot went unclaimed.
What happened
In Sunday’s Powerball draw, one New York ticket matched all five white ball numbers correctly but missed the red Powerball number by just one, so it did not hit the jackpot but did secure the second‑place prize of $1 million.
The estimated jackpot for that draw was around $758 million, with a cash‑option value of roughly $346 million, but no winner claimed the top prize.
Where the ticket was bought
The winning ticket was purchased at a store called “Unique News and Smoke” in Manhattan, located at 2218 Broadway, New York City.
New York State Lottery confirmed that only one second‑place Powerball ticket worth $1 million was sold in New York for that Sunday drawing, and the prize can still be claimed by the winner.
Why this is notable
New York has recently been in the spotlight for multiple big Powerball winners, and these $1 million second‑place prizes have helped keep public interest in the lottery strong.
Powerball drawings are held three times a week in the U.S. (Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays) at about 10:59 p.m. local time, with players selecting five numbers from 1–69 and one Powerball number from 1–26.
