BROOKLYN, NY — Two New York Lottery players each won $50,000 after purchasing third-prize-winning tickets for the January 6 Powerball drawing, lottery officials announced Tuesday.

One winning ticket was sold at 99 C Superior Market, located at 763 Rogers Avenue in Brooklyn, while the other was sold at Speedway, located at 365 Fairview Avenue in Hudson. Both tickets matched four numbers plus the Power Ball to claim the $50,000 prize.
