Winning Powerball Ticket Sold At This Hudson Valley Stewart’s

If you play Powerball and bought a ticket at Stewart's Shop make sure you check your tickets!

The Powerball lottery craze seems to be getting bigger and bigger as the jackpot continues to climb (Monday's 10/9 jackpot is $1.55 Billion)! Often times when a jackpot gets this high there are many players (me included) that chase the jackpot. Honestly, I don't normally play lottery games that I have to pick numbers, I'm more of an instant scratch-off kind of guy but when the jackpot is this high I feel like I have to play so I usually buy a few tickets.
