New York Powerball players claim $1 million prizes from drawings this summer
View Date:2025-01-14 19:11:51
New Yorkers who won $1 million prizes from Powerball drawings earlier this year are starting to emerge.
The Powerball jackpot has rolled over for 35 consecutive drawings since the last winner on July 22, pushing the prize over $1.7 billion ahead of Wednesday night's drawing. But prior to that, a handful of New York residents won $1 million prizes in July ‒ on the same day a California man won the $1.08 billion jackpot – and we're starting to learn about a few of those winners.
A couple from Cayuga County, Mark and Linda Cahill, won a $1 million second prize for matching the first five numbers in the July 19 Powerball drawing.
They bought the winning ticket from the Wegmans store at 1 Loop Road in Auburn.
The Cahills decided to split the $1,000,000 prize, each receiving a one-time lump sum payment of $325,500 after required withholdings.
And Joanne Jeske of Binghamton claimed a $1 million prize at New York Lottery headquarters on September 21 after purchasing a ticket at Sliders Food Mart located at 634 James St. in Clayton.
After required withholdings, Jeske received a lump sum payment totaling $651,000, which was a one-time payment.
Weeks before Jeske came forward, Peter Cornell of Schenectady came in to claim his $1 million prize. Cornell received a one-time lump sum payment of $651,121.
He bought his winning ticket at Cumberland Farms, which is located at 1159 Troy Schenectady Road in Latham.
During fiscal year 2022-2023, the Lottery said that New York's Powerball game generated $516,866,283 in sales. Meanwhile, Cayuga County's school districts received $19,189,147 in Lottery Aid to Education funds.
