$2 Million Dollar Winning Powerball Ticket Sold In New York

It was a VERY lucky Monday night for one person in New York.

The New York State Lottery announced that one lucky 2nd-place winning Powerball ticket was sold in New York.

The ticket was sold at Lucky Huang Grocery store in Queens, New York, and matched all five numbers but missed out on the Powerball number.

The even better news is that the ticket also had the Powerplay which doubled the the 2nd place prize. So one lucky person won $2 million dollars from last night's Powerball drawing.

The odds of winning the 2nd place prize with the Powerball are 1 in 11,688,053.

Monday's Powerball numbers were: 24-29-42-51-54 with the Powerball number 16
