Powerball tickets can be purchased at any New York Lottery retailer for $2, seven days a week. The deadline for purchasing a ticket is 10 p.m. on draw nights. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 11 p.m., and the New York Lottery urges players to buy tickets early to avoid last-minute lines.

The Hoosier Lottery says a winning Powerball ticket worth $50,000 was sold at the Payless Liquors located at 7369 Madison Avenue in Southport. The ticket correctly matched four out of the five numbers and the Powerball for Saturday's drawing.

A Maryland man has shown that luck can happen more than once. Eight years after winning a big prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket, he has returned to lottery headquarters again to collect another large win. This time, the lucky man won $50,000 from a Powerball ticket, which surprised him a lot.
