Thu Nov 07 10:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Local New Yorker Wins $500,000 in Powerball Drawing
**New York, NY** – A lucky New Yorker woke up a half-million dollars richer today after winning a significant prize in last night’s Powerball drawing. The winning ticket, sold somewhere in the state, matched four out of five numbers and the Powerball, plus it had the Powerplay option, multiplying the prize amount by ten. This lucky player is now the proud owner of a $500,000 check.
The odds of winning this third-place prize are 1 in 913,129. The winning Powerball numbers for Monday were 6-18-33-48-53, with a Powerball of 21.
While there was no grand prize winner last night, the jackpot for Wednesday’s drawing has climbed to a whopping $75 million.
Looking for a little extra help when choosing your numbers? The New York State Lottery has provided some data on the most commonly drawn white and red Powerball numbers over the past several years. You might want to consider these numbers:
**Most Frequently Drawn White Numbers:** 10, 3, 17, 46, 14, 31, 64, 8, 15, 38.
**Most Frequently Drawn Red Numbers:** 10, 3, 17, 46, 14, 31, 64, 8, 15, 38.
On the other hand, the numbers 51 and 49 have been drawn only 34 times each, so you might want to avoid them.
Good luck to everyone playing in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing! Remember, tickets must be purchased before 10:59 pm on Wednesday.
