We Now Know Who The Upstate NYer Is Winning $1M Powerball Sort Of

In October, the Powerball had reached the astronomical sum of $1.76 billion. While no one from New York claimed this enormous prize, an individual from Upstate New York was fortunate enough to have a ticket valued at $1 million. The identity of this fortunate person remains obscured. The winner was remarkably close to winning the staggering jackpot of $1.76 billion, only missing the Powerball number. The winning numbers for the October 11th Powerball drawing consisted of 22, 24, 40, 52, 64, whereas the Powerball number was 10. The winner managed to match all five numbers, but not the Powerball number. The $1 million Powerball ticket was sold in Saratoga County, at a well-liked Stewart's Shop located at 2467 Route 9 in Ballston Spa/Malta. In New York State, winners aren't technically allowed to remain anonymous, but many have found a way around this through creating a limited liability corporation (LLC). This allows the winner to protect their identity by claiming the prize in the name of the LLC. The group claiming the $1 million Powerball prize is The BH NY Partnership LLC from Ballston Spa, though their identity remains a mystery. The BH NY Partnership LLC selected to receive a one-time lump sum amount of $651,000, after required deductions.
