N.Y. Lottery: Two TAKE 5 winners bring home big bucks in time for NYC holiday season

After winning the Dec. 7 game’s lunchtime and evening drawings, two TAKE 5 lottery players may have a slightly better holiday season ahead of them.

Sahana Corp., located at 36 East 14th St. in Manhattan, sold the $19,465.50 noon prize ticket, while Sunny Gourmet Deli Inc., located at 153 Joralemon St. in Brooklyn, sold the $34,627 ticket for the evening winner.

Those holiday lights look a little more fanciful now, don’t they?

TAKE Five numbers are selected from a range of 1 to 39. The five numbers on your ticket must match the winning five-number combination selected in order to win the TAKE 5 jackpot. Each game costs $1 to play.

Twice a day at 10:30 and 2:30 p.m., the drawing is shown on television. To find out if they have the winning numbers for the respective midday or evening drawing, players who have both the midday and evening drawings on the same ticket must verify their numbers at nylottery.ny.gov.

There is a 1 in 575,757 chance of winning the TAKE 5 jackpot.
