A winning ticket from Wednesday's powerball drawing was sold in the Capital Region.

According to the Times Union, the third prize winning ticket worth $50,000 was sold at Bonfare Market in Coxsackie. The winning numbers drawn in the Jan. 25 Powerball drawing were 18-28-62-66-68 and the Powerball number was 22. Lottery officials encourage ticket holders to check their tickets again as they could be holding the winning ticket. This got me thinking about the time my brother hit a jackpot of $50,000 on a scratch off ticket. This was around 1998, when the new Volkswagen Beetle came out. My brother bought himself a Beetle and also helped me pay off some bills, which I'll always appreciate. I on the other hand have never had much luck with the New York Lottery or winning much of anything in my life.

How about you? Have you ever hit a big jackpot? How large was the jackpot?
