Congratulations to an Upstate New York family who got all dressed up and headed down to New York City to compete in a National Halloween costume contest!
It's no joke! Check your tickets! Someone in Upstate New York is fifty-thousand dollars richer. A winning ticket was sold at a grocery store for the April 1st (April Fools Day) Powerball drawing. It wasn't the jackpot, but I am sure the winner won't mind having an extra $50K.
There are a lot of New York Lottery scratch-off tickets in New York state. You can spend anywhere from one to thirty dollars. The latest winner spend a cool thirty bucks but cashed in for the top prize of one million dollars!
With the Mega Millions jackpot is $1.35 billion, everyone has a dream of hitting it big. But in New York State if you will the lottery, you must come forward. However, past winners have gotten clever about not disclosing their actual names.
You win if the numbers on one row of your ticket match the numbers of the balls drawn on that date. There are nine ways to win a prize, from $2 to the jackpot.
