After winning last night’s multimillion-dollar Powerball jackpot, a Queens Powerball player is raking in cash.

The fortunate winner purchased their ticket at Flushing’s Hua Lian Supermarket, located at 25-03 Parsons Blvd., for an astounding $256,000,000.

Another Queens Powerball player won the third-place Powerball prize that same evening.

In the Powerball game, the winning numbers are selected from a range of 1 to 69. A different field ranging from 1 to 26 is used to select the Powerball number. Players must match the red Powerball number and all five white balls in any order to win the jackpot.
