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.

A lottery ticket sold at ShopRite in Selden was one of two third-prize-winning tickets worth $50,000 for Saturday's Powerball drawing, New York Lottery officials said. A second ticket was sold at Smokes 4 Less in Newburgh.
