STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A lottery player in New York City has claimed $2 million in a doubled Powerball second prize, according to lottery officials.
Chi Lee Lee of Elmhurst, Queens, matched the first five numbers in a Powerball drawing on Feb. 26, according to the New York Lottery. When purchased, Chi Lee Lee opted for the $1 Powerplay feature that allows players to multiply a non-jackpot prize up to 10 times. It automatically doubled the second $1 million prize to $2 million.
The ticket was purchased at Lucky Huang Grocery Store, located at 8261 Broadway in Elmhurst, Queens.
The winning numbers for that evening were: 24, 29, 42, 51, 54 and Powerball 16.
Chi Lee Lee opted to receive a single lump-sum payment of $1,224,481, after required withholdings.
The winning numbers for the Powerball game are drawn from a field of one to 69. The Powerball number is drawn from a separate field of one to 26. In order to win the jackpot, players must match all five white balls in any order and the red Powerball number.
Powerball tickets can be purchased at any New York Lottery retailer for $2, seven days a week. The deadline for purchasing a ticket is 10 p.m. on draw nights.
Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 11 p.m., and the New York Lottery urges players to buy tickets early to avoid last-minute lines.
