The Bronx may have a new millionaire in its midst. The New York Lottery announced on Thursday, Aug. 5, that one second-prize ticket for the Aug. 4 Powerball drawing was sold in the borough. The ticket is worth a guaranteed $1,000,000.

The ticket was purchased at Ahmon Food Inc., located at 1572 Williamsbridge Rd in Morris Park.

The winning numbers for the Powerball game are drawn from a field of one to 69. The red Power Ball is drawn from a separate field of one to 26. The drawing is televised every Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m.

New York Lottery officials say the lottery continues to be North America’s largest and most profitable Lottery, contributing $3.59 billion in fiscal year 2020-21 to help support education in New York State.

New Yorkers struggling with a gambling addiction, or who know someone who is, can find help by calling the State’s toll-free, confidential HOPEline at 1-877-8-HOPENY (1-877-846-7369) or by texting HOPENY (467369). Standard text rates may apply.
