Ogdensburg Stewart's, Price Chopper stores each sell one $50,000 Powerball winning ticket

Posted

OGDENSBURG -- In Wednesday’s $1.58 billion record-breaking Powerball jackpot, lottery players in St. Lawrence County won $100,000 with two winning tickets sold for $50,000 each.

The tickets were sold at Stewart’s Shops at 703 Ford Street in Ogdensburg and at Price Chopper at 2981 Ford Street Ext. in Ogdensburg.

It is unclear if the prizes have been claimed.

“While no one hit the jackpot prize, New Yorkers are vastly richer thanks to Wednesday’s historic Powerball drawing,” said Gardner Gurney, Director of the Division of the Lottery. “From Montauk Point to Niagara Falls and from Plattsburgh to Jamestown, two million prizes totaling over $18.8 million dollars were won in New York.”

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 Syracuse office at 620 Erie Blvd. West, Syracuse.

This history-making Powerball jackpot skyrocketed sales statewide to $258.9 million for drawings leading up to and including Wednesday’s record jackpot drawing.

Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Prior to this jackpot, the largest Powerball jackpot was $590.5 million won in Florida in May 2013.
