So the second time in a week, a one million dollar winning Powerball lottery ticket was sold in New York

The New York State Lottery announced that one ticket matched all 5 numbers but missed the Powerball number, from Saturday's Powerball drawing. That ticket won the 2nd place prize of  one million dollars

The winning ticket was sold at Bridge Food Mart on 427 Wythe Ave in Brooklyn.

Last Wednesday, December 4th, another million-dollar ticket was sold in New York. That ticket was sold at Coco Farms in Nyack, New York.

Don't throw away your Powerball tickets just yet. The New York State Lottery also announced that two other "Big Money" winning tickets were sold for Saturday's drawing as well. Those tickets each matched four out of five numbers and had the Powerball number. Each of those tickets won $50,000. 

Saturday's Powerball numbers were 5-25-26-40-60 with a Powerball of 01.

No one claimed the grand prize on Saturday which makes tonight's Powerball Jackpot worth $477 million dollars.
