The New York Lottery today announced two top prize winning tickets for the August 2 TAKE 5 drawing were sold at M & M Super Shoppe at 104 Lafayette Avenue in Suffern. Each winning ticket is worth $34,841.

“It is quite intriguing to see two top prizes for Take 5 won at the same store, and we’ll be waiting to see if it is two players who like to play the same numbers or just a player who likes their lucky numbers so much they played them twice,” said Gardner Gurney, Director of the Division of Lottery, New York State Gaming Commission.

In addition to the two $34,841 top prizes for the August 2 TAKE 5 drawing, which was won by matching five out of five numbers, 262 players each purchased winning tickets worth $398.50 by matching four out of five numbers for the drawing. In total, there were 95,399 TAKE 5 winners for the August 2 drawing.

The winning numbers for the August 2 TAKE 5 drawing were 02-10-17-20-38.
