Luck was in the air at a Yonkers gas station this week when the shop sold not one, but three $1 million second-place Powerball tickets<\/a> during Monday night\u2019s drawing. <\/p>\n

The tickets were sold at V&C Taneja, a convenience store inside a BP gas station on Nepperhan Ave. Workers told the New York Post<\/a> crowds have been pouring in ever since, hoping to cash in on the store\u2019s newfound luck.<\/p>\n

State lottery officials said this triple win is not impossible, but \u201cinfrequent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey all know this is the lucky spot,\u201d store manager Shahid Shah, 54, told The Post.<\/a> \u201cThis is the first time I ever see it like this. Everyone is coming by and buying Powerball tickets in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

None of the winners have stepped forward to claim their prizes, according to lottery officials. They have until Oct. 19, 2026 to claim their prizes.<\/p>\n

Park told The Post<\/a> it is possible that the three tickets were purchased by one individual using the same lucky numbers multiple times.<\/p>\n

While the odds of winning a $1 million Powerball prize are roughly 1 in 11.6 million, New York has seen other unusual strokes of luck, including a Schenectady man who, in 2023, won both the first and second place prizes from the same CASH4LIFE ticket.<\/p>\n
