$245M Powerball Ticket Sold At NYC Supermarket

STATEN ISLAND, NY — One lucky supermarket customer hit the Powerball jackpot over the weekend. A winning ticket for Saturday's $245 million drawing was sold at a Staten Island Stop & Shop store, according to the New York Lottery.

The magic ticket was a randomly generated Quick Pick ticket purchased at the 2754 Hylan Blvd. store in New Dorp Beach, the lottery said. Saturday's winning numbers were 5, 43, 56, 62 and 68, with a Powerball of 24.

The prize for Saturday night's drawing was $245.6 million. The lucky shopper, who hasn't yet been identified, would take home about $147.8 million after taxes if they choose to receive a lump sum, CBS New York reported.

"Now it’s a waiting game to see who won," store manager Larry DiAntonio told the New York Daily News. "Hopefully, somebody in the community, somebody who’s a regular shopper in the store, or a worker. We don’t know."
