Somebody in New Rochelle is sitting on a four-figure secret. A top-prize Take 5 ticket worth $33,514 was sold in the city for Friday's evening drawing, according to lottery officials. The winner's identity has not been made public, and the lucky player has up to a year to step forward and claim the cash. The ticket was bought at a neighborhood liquor shop, turning an everyday errand into a serious payday.
Winning numbers and payout
According to the New York Lottery, Friday’s evening Take 5 drawing produced the numbers 11, 12, 13, 19 and 38. Just one ticket matched all five, landing the full $33,514 top prize. The lottery's official results page shows the June 12 evening drawing and the prize amount, and the state portal remains the go-to spot for confirming any recent draw results.
Where the ticket was sold
Local reporting identified the retailer as LMC Wine & Liquor Inc., located at 382 North Ave. in New Rochelle, as reported by Patch. The outlet notes that the neighborhood shop sold the Take 5 top-prize ticket worth $33,514. At the time of that report, the store had not issued any public comment on its sudden brush with lottery luck.
How Take 5 works
According to the game's information page at Take 5 Odds & Prizes, Take 5 draws five numbers from a pool of 1 through 39, with televised drawings held twice a day at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. The odds of hitting all five numbers and scoring the top prize are 1 in 575,757. Prizes are paid on a pari‑mutuel basis, so the payout can change from drawing to drawing, and the top-prize amount depends on overall ticket sales and how many winners land in each prize tier.
What winners should do
The New York Lottery advises players to sign and safeguard winning tickets, and notes that "Draw Game prizes must be claimed within one year of the draw date" on its claim instructions page. Anyone who thinks they are holding the winning slip is urged to follow the lottery's directions for mailing in a ticket or scheduling a claim appointment and to be ready with valid photo ID and tax information. The lottery also recommends signing the back of any winning ticket to help protect ownership until the prize is officially claimed.
