A Wegmans shopper in Hornell hit the jackpot by purchasing a top-prize winning ticket for the New York Lottery’s Take 5 evening drawing on May 11th. The New York Lottery confirmed that the winning ticket, worth $36,566, was sold at the Wegmans on Route 36N.
Take 5 winners are drawn from a set of numbers ranging from one to 39, offering participants daily opportunities to win. The lucky numbers for the evening draw led to the substantial prize for one fortunate ticket holder.
The Take 5 drawings are part of a twice-daily event, broadcast at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., allowing two chances each day for players to win by matching the drawn numbers.
