4 “Big Money” Winning Powerball Tickets Sold In New York

Wednesday's Powerball drawing turned out to be a very lucky one for several New Yorkers.

The New York State Lottery announced that there were four "Big Money" winning lottery tickets sold in New York from last night's Powerball drawing including one ticket that won $100,000.

All four tickets matched four out of the five numbers drawn and also had the Powerball. They each won the 3rd place prize of $50,000 but one of the tickets had the Powerplay which was double the prize amount.

Wednesday's Powerball numbers were: 1-23-25-28-61 with a Powerball of 13.

No one claimed the grand prize, so the jackpot for Saturday's drawing is up to $260 million dollars.

There have been six "Big Money" winning Powerball tickets sold in New York this week.
