One very fortunate Long Islander is probably planning a fancy vacation or contemplating new living room furniture this evening, as they have found themselves $50,000 richer after scoring a winning New York lottery ticket.
A Powerball ticket, purchased at Waverly Express Mart at 1106 Waverly Avenue in Holtsville, was announced as the third-place winner in this past weekend's drawing, according to New York State Lottery officials.
In addition, two other third-place Powerball tickets were sold in New York State; one in Somers in Westchester County, and another one in Manhattan.
