'26.11.2021'
Three tickets shared jackpot LOTTO this week at $ 8,3 million, reports The New York Post... All three were purchased from the self-titled Lucky Choice Convenience restaurant in Manhattan.
The three tickets purchased from the Upper West Side Store were the only ones that matched all six draw numbers on Wednesday 24 November: 05, 10, 14, 20, 23 and 28.
According to the New York Lottery, each prize ticket receives an equal prize of $ 2,76 million before taxes.
Officials lotteries did not immediately reveal any details of the winning tickets. Including whether they were bought together by the same group of people or is it just a coincidence.
An employee at a Lucky Choice store on West 72nd Street near Columbus Avenue told The Post by phone that he had no idea who bought the tickets or when they were purchased. The employee said that it was not immediately possible to speak with the manager.
According to the New York Lottery, the odds of getting at least one winning LOTTO ticket are 1 in over 45 million.
2021 is the most successful year
Today, 2021 has been a great year for the Big Apple lottery.
September lottery ticket Mega Millions, bought from a pizzeria in Manhattan, won a staggering $ 432 million prize. This is the largest win in the history of New York.
Earlier this month, he was picked up by two anonymous players called Goodtimez, LLC - one from Manhattan and the other from Hillsboro, New Jersey.
Together, they collected a lump sum of $ 204 after taxes.
Their prize was the highest. But they were among 34 people from the Big Apple who announced this year and claimed prizes of $ 1 million or more. At the same time, four of them received at least $ 10 million.
Prior to September's Pronto Pizza, New York City's previous biggest win was $ 343,8 million. They were won in October 2018 by Harlem retiree Robert Bailey, then 67 years old. He shared the $ 687 million Powerball prize with another Iowa winner taking home $ 125 after taxes.
However, not every victory is a success. Previous jackpots have resulted in dissolution of marriages, waste of lavish lifestyles and financial security for their families.
