Are you more likely to win the $1 billion Powerball jackpot if you live in NY? A new survey claims that's actually true!

Turns out New Yorkers have the most luck when it comes to winning the Mega Millions jackpot.

We all have big dreams about hitting that $1.25 billion Mega Millions jackpot. Sometimes we either don't have time or forget to head to our local convenience store or gas station. Now the New York Lottery has a way for you to play without leaving the comforts of home.

The $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot was won by one winner in California. Although no one in New York State cashed in on the top prize, there was an Upstate New Yorker who is $1 million richer. Check your New York Lottery Powerball tickets because someone in Upstate New York is a one-million-dollar winner!

There's this fancy 2 Michelin star restaurant in Tarrytown, NY called Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Certainly you'll go when you win the lottery, right? Wouldn't it be fun to throw everyone off by bring thee most unfancy wine to pair with your fancy meal?! Here are 10 suggestions.

There are a lot of New York Lottery scratch-off tickets in New York state. You can spend anywhere from one to thirty dollars. The latest winner spent just ten dollars but cashed in for the top prize of five million dollars!

It's no joke! Check your tickets! Someone in Upstate New York is fifty-thousand dollars richer. A winning ticket was sold at a grocery store for the April 1st (April Fools Day) Powerball drawing. It wasn't the jackpot, but I am sure the winner won't mind having an extra $50K.

Is it legal in New York to purchase a lottery ticket with a credit card?

If you bought a Take5 Lottery ticket for the March 1st evening drawing at a Stewart's Shop in the Capital Region, you could be cashing in. You are splitting it with three other winners and it's worth $9,800.50!

A group of nine lucky co-workers is splitting a two-million-dollar Powerball Powerplay prize from a November drawing. One of the co-workers is from Upstate NY.

Check your tickets! There was another Take5 winning ticket sold. This time it was purchased at a Stewart's Shop in Rensselaer County. That winner is cashing in a ticket worth $19,860.50!

The New York Lottery's Take 5 drawing has been a lucky game for a bunch of Capital Region players in the last few weeks. There were two winners at area Saratoga County Stewart's Shops totaling over eighty thousand dollars in the last week. Add another winner to the list. This time in Albany.

The Capital Region wasn't lucky in the whopping $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot, but there was another big winner in the Take 5 drawing on Friday, January 13th.

Even though there was no grand prize winner in last night's Mega Millions drawing, someone in the Capital Region is waking up a little bit richer this morning. There were two second-place tickets sold in New York state and one in the Capital Region.

There are a ton of New York Lottery games you can play on a daily basis. But recently it seems that people in the Capital Region are cashing in and winning big on Take 5 from the New York Lottery. Someone is holding a winning Take 5 ticket worth over $18,000!

There is a new millionaire (before taxes of course) in Rensselaer County. The Troy man won on a scratch-off game that he purchased at a Price Chopper.

There was another lucky lottery winner in Albany County. It was almost a nearly three hundred million dollar winner but they were just one number off. A winning Powerball ticket was sold in Albany County worth fifty thousand dollars.

I always say that someday I will win a ton of money on either a scratch-off or in the lottery. It seems that more Capital Region residents are cashing in. There was another winner that scratched their way to $5 million.

But seriously, this is now one huge reason why dogs are “man’s best friend”! A man from Fort Edward, NY - less than an hour from the Capital Region- went into a store to buy a Slim Jim for his dog.  He left over six million dollars richer...

Not one single soul had the winning digits for the Mega Millions last night! So the jackpot continues to grow, getting closer and closer to the $300 million mark this week. I don't know about you but I will be picking up more tickets before the next drawing. What would you do if you won?

Still no sign of the sole winner of last night's Powerball jackpot of $400 million dollllaazzz!  The winning ticket was sold at a South Carolina gas station and after taxes the lump sum is $233 million bucks, boys and girls!
