Three $1 million Powerball winning tickets were sold at the same New York store for the Oct. 20, 2025 drawing, a rare and astonishing lottery coincidence that has captured national attention. All three tickets matched the five white balls, each winning $1 million, according to the New York Lottery.
The tickets were purchased at V&C Taneja, a BP gas station in Yonkers, just north of New York City. It’s not yet known whether they were bought by the same person or by three separate winners. Officials say more details will emerge once the winners claim their prizes.
Powerball Results and Jackpot Update
The winning numbers for Monday, Oct. 20, 2025, were 32, 38, 66, 67, and 69, with the Powerball number 19. The Power Play multiplier was 2x. None of the tickets matched all six numbers, so the jackpot rolled over once again.
The Powerball jackpot is now estimated at $320 million, with a cash option of $152.2 million for the next drawing on Wednesday, Oct. 22. The jackpot was last claimed on Sept. 6, when winners from Missouri and Texas split a $1.787 billion prize — the second-largest in Powerball history.
Powerball drawings take place three times a week — Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday — at 10:59 p.m. ET. Ticket sales cut off shortly before the draw, with deadlines varying by state. In New York, sales end at 10 p.m. on the day of the drawing.
How Rare Is This Powerball Outcome?
The odds of matching all five white balls — the feat achieved by the three tickets in Yonkers — are about 1 in 11,688,053. For all three tickets to hit the $1 million prize at the same location on the same night is extraordinarily rare and has left lottery officials and players stunned.
The odds of winning the full Powerball jackpot are even more daunting: 1 in 292,201,338. Yet the lure of a life-changing payday keeps millions of Americans playing every week. Powerball is available in 45 states, as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Players choose five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. Each ticket costs $2, and an additional $1 activates the Power Play option, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes up to five times. If the jackpot is under $150 million, a 10x multiplier is possible.
Broader Impact and What Happens Next
The Yonkers win is likely to draw more attention to that specific location and could spark a rush of players hoping lightning strikes twice. Whether one lucky individual bought all three tickets or three different players hit it big remains unknown, but either scenario is remarkable.
Meanwhile, anticipation is building for Wednesday night’s drawing as the jackpot continues to grow. With a $320 million top prize, the Powerball buzz is expected to intensify nationwide.
The story of the three $1 million Powerball winning tickets from one New York store is still unfolding. Whether a single buyer defied astronomical odds or three people struck gold together, this rare event will be remembered by lottery players for years to come.
