MONTICELLO — One lucky Powerball player is holding a $1 million winning ticket—and they bought it at the ShopRite located at 46 Thompson Square in Monticello.

As part of Saturday night’s Powerball drawing, the Monticello ShopRite sold one of only two $1 million second-prize tickets in the entire state of New York. As of now, the winner has not come forward.

Even though Saturday’s Powerball jackpot of $1.787 billion was won in Missouri and Texas, New York State’s public schools and Lottery retailers continue to win big with ticket sales and commissions totaling $154 million during the most recent jackpot rollup, according to the New York State Gaming Commission.

The multi-state Powerball jackpot started building on June 2 and culminated with the September 6 drawing for $1.787 billion. During that time, Powerball ticket sales in New York State generated $64.3 million for public schools and $11 million in commissions for lottery retailers—many of which are small businesses.

New York State Gaming Commission Chair Brian O’Dwyer said, “Massive jackpots generate additional excitement, which in-turn delivers increased sales that directly benefit New York’s public schools and small businesses. Plus, more than 100 lucky New Yorkers won life-changing prizes during the three-month run. The New York Lottery is proud to deliver such fun, beneficial, and lucrative games for New Yorkers of legal age to enjoy.”
