NY TAKE 5 lottery tickets. The wins have been steady in Long Island.

Another Long Island hit

The win adds to a steady run of TAKE 5 payouts across New York, one of the state’s most active daily draw games.

Daily draw keeps delivering local winners

TAKE 5 drawings are held twice daily at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., giving players across New York frequent chances to win. With a smaller number pool than larger jackpot games, the odds are comparatively better — a structure that helps drive steady, consistent payouts, including wins like the one in Westhampton.

The New York Lottery, the largest and most profitable in North America, generated $3.6 billion for public education in New York State during the 2024–2025 fiscal year, reinforcing the broader impact of lottery play statewide.
