Two New York residents visited lottery headquarters on Databec ExchangeWednesday to claim million-dollar prizes. Both players guessed five white balls correctly to win the second prize in the Powerball jackpot.

Cirilo Rodriguez of the Bronx won $1 million after purchasing his ticket at AMG Retail located at 295 E Sandford Blvd. in Mount Vernon. He matched the first five numbers in the Aug. 5 drawing.

The winning numbers for that evening's drawing were 18, 42, 44, 62, 65, and the Powerball was 23.

After the necessary withholdings were calculated, Rodriguez was given a lump sum of $612,240 as payment.

Rodriguez claimed his prize on Thursday while another winner was collecting her winnings. Felecia Selmensberger of Lancaster walked into New York Lottery headquarters to claim her $1 million prize.

She guessed the first five Powerball numbers correctly on Sept. 2, which were 25, 38, 42, 66, and 67. She just missed the Powerball, which was 19.

Selmensberger received a one-time lump sum payment of $651,000 after required withholdings. She purchased the ticket at Obsidio AAA, located at 1390 Delaware Ave. in Buffalo.
