Yonkers Gas Station Strikes Lottery Gold: Three $1 Million Powerball Tickets Sold in a Single Day
Yonkers, NY – [Date] – A Yonkers gas station is the talk of the town after an improbable string of luck saw them sell three $1 million Powerball tickets during Monday’s drawing. V&C Taneja, a convenience store located within a BP gas station on Nepperhan Avenue, has become a magnet for lottery hopefuls eager to test their luck at what locals are calling the “lucky spot.”
“They all know this is the lucky spot,” said store manager Shahid Shah. “This is the first time I ever see it like this. Everyone is coming by and buying Powerball tickets in the morning.”
The New York State Gaming Commission confirmed the unusual event, noting that while rare, such instances are not unheard of. The winners of the three second-place tickets have yet to come forward. Lottery officials speculate that all three tickets may have even been purchased by one individual playing the same numbers multiple times.
The odds of winning a million-dollar Powerball prize are approximately 1 in 11.6 million, making the store’s triple win a truly remarkable event.
Customers are flocking to the Yonkers location from across the region, hoping to capitalize on the apparent lucky streak. Residents from the Bronx and beyond are making special trips to purchase tickets.
Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot, which went unclaimed in Monday and Wednesday’s drawings, currently stands at $344 million.
The winners of the three $1 million tickets have until Oct. 19, 2026, to claim their prizes.
