Winning Powerball ticket worth almost $300 million sold in New York City
Officials say a winning ticket for a $298 million Powerball jackpot was sold at a gas station in New York City.
New York Lottery spokesman Brad Maione says it's the only known ticket to have all the winning numbers: 5, 25, 38, 52, 67 and Powerball number 24.
Maione says it was an automatically generated Quick Pick ticket sold at Arnold Service Station in Brooklyn.
The station had no immediate comment Thursday.
No winner has yet come forward.
He, she or they can receive $298.3 million in installments over 30 years or a one-time, lump-sum payment of $180.2 million.
Other tickets bought in New York also hit it big this year.
A Staten Island carpenter won a $245.6 million Powerball prize in August, and a retired postal worker from Manhattan won $343.8 million in October.
