We now know Brooklyn was the lucky borough in Wednesday night's Powerball drawing.
The $298.3 million ticket was sold at an East New York gas station.
The last time a person won in New York City was this past November. Robert Bailey won the largest Powerball in New York Lottery history at $343.8 million
Bailey bought his winning ticket at a Harlem deli. He took home the lump sum of $198 million.
Before that, a Staten Island man won a prize of $256.6 million in September.

The jackpot resets back to $40 million Saturday.
