Herkimer Ticket Sold at Local Market
One of the winning tickets was purchased right here in Central New York at Cliff’s Local Market, located at 412 E State Street in Herkimer. It’s the kind of stop people make every day for gas, snacks, coffee… and sometimes, apparently, a nearly $15,000 win.
The second winning ticket from the same drawing was sold downstate at Salumed 5th Avenue Pharmacy in Bay Shore on Long Island.

Don't Fall For Lottery Scams
Watch out for lottery scams — they come in all shapes and sizes, but the goal is always the same: promise big prizes through emails or texts that look official, as long as you pay a “fee.”
There’s no such thing as a “Mega Millions Sweepstake International Lottery Program,” “Mega Million Jackpot Winners List,” or “Mega Millions International Lottery.” The only way to win a real jackpot is to buy a New York Lottery ticket and match some or all of the winning numbers.
And here’s the rule to remember: winners never pay fees to claim a legitimate prize. If someone asks you for money, it’s a scam — plain and simple.
All winning New York Lottery numbers can be found at nylottery.ny.gov.
