New York is home to a new millionaire.
One of the two jackpot tickets from Friday night’s $333 million drawing was purchased in the Bronx. The winner has yet to come forward, but a swarm of new customers are visiting the store where the winning ticket was bought.
Hopes were high Saturday in the Bronx, where a lucky customer of the Fordham Grocery and Convenience Store won half of the jackpot worth one-third of a billion dollars. The other half is going to a player in California.
Good news travels fast, as now people keep rushing in and buying lotto tickets, hoping that lightning will strike twice.
The owner of the store gets a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket, but the customers are hoping for just a few million dollars more.
Since no winner has come forward yet, it’s time to check your ticket.
Here are the winning numbers: 1, 17, 31, 37, 54 and the mega ball 31.

I won!
is it halachically assur to play lotto?
Hey Thats funny- so did I…
HOW COULD NO WINNER HAVE COME FORWARD?!?!
4, when u win that money the best thing to do is keep quiet but QUICKLY speak to a lawyer & accountant to make sure you keep as much as possible.
#2, my rov plays the lotto. He says he just buys 1 ticket at a time, because if hashem wants him to win, 1 will be enough. But you need to buy that 1 ticket to provide the chance.
#3, they claim the winner is from the BRONX. Not the UK!
Reb Yakov Kaminetzky said it is only necessary to buy once a year, for Hashen decides on Rosh Hashana how much a person will earn that year , so if it is meant for that year once is enough. Otherwise you can try every day it won’t help you for that year if its not Bashert. And even trying once he says is ok but actualy if you have true Bitachon youll get every dollar Bashert for you.
