$250,000 “Big Money” Powerball Winner In New York

Wednesday's Powerball drawing was a lucky one for a couple of lottery players in New York State.

The New York State Lottery announced that there were two "Big Money" winning Powerball tickets sold from Wednesday's drawing including one ticket that won $250,000.

Both tickets matched four out of five numbers and also had the Powerball which means they won the 3rd place prize of $50,000. One of the tickets also had the Powerplay which was 5x the prize amount.

Wednesday's winning Powerball numbers were: 1-6-7-13-40 with a Powerball of 05.

No one claimed the grand prize so the jackpot for Saturday's drawing is now up to $214 million dollars.
