NEW YORK — Two top-prize-winning tickets, each worth $14,547, were sold for the Nov. 17 Take 5 Evening drawing, the New York Lottery announced Monday.

The tickets were purchased at Lucky Star Liquor and Wine 1, located at 251-22 Hillside Avenue in Bellerose, and Horace Gas, located at 110-35 Horace Harding Expressway in Corona. Both tickets matched all five numbers drawn in the evening game.

Take 5 numbers are drawn twice daily, at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., from a field of one through 39. Players have up to one year from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes.

The New York Lottery encourages all players to check their tickets, as smaller prizes may also have been won in the drawing.
