In addition to that, a second prize winning CASH4LIFE ticket was bought at Jay's One Stop on Commercial Drive in Johnson City, Broome County, on Saturday, December 23. This ticket is worth $1,000 a week for life and offers a guaranteed minimum prize of $1 million if taken in one lump sum.

The third lottery ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven store located in Wayland, Stuben County. That winning ticket was a  third-prize-winning Poweball ticket worth $50,000. That ticket was for the Saturday, December 23 drawing.

The winners of each winning ticket have up to one year to come forward and claim their prize.

On another note, the Powerball jackpot has continued to grow and is now at an impressive $685 million. There were no winners for the Christmas draw, so the jackpot continues to roll over.
