A third-prize Powerball ticket worth $50,000 was sold at Ayra Foods & Beverages in Elmira, New York, according to the New York Lottery. The winning ticket matched four of the five white ball numbers plus the red Powerball in the Feb. 21 drawing. This marks the second $50,000 prize sold in New York for that drawing, with another winner purchased at Nor-Cross Service Station in Whitestone.

Saturday's drawing featured an estimated $190 million jackpot with a cash option of $88.5 million. The winning numbers were 27-28-36-48-49 with Powerball 21 and a Power Play multiplier of 4x. While Elmira's ticket fell short of the jackpot, it represents a significant windfall for the local winner. The Powerball game continues to generate substantial jackpots, with the current top prizes reaching historic levels.

The Ayra Foods & Beverages store now joins the ranks of retailers that have sold winning tickets in New York's lottery history. Powerball winners have 365 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes. This third-tier prize, while substantial, pales in comparison to the game's record jackpots, which have exceeded $2 billion in recent years.
