STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- With Powerball jackpots reaching over a billion dollars this year, we thought we’d take a look back at these vintage Advance/SILive.com photos of New York lotteries past.

The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 20, at 10:59 p.m., with the estimated jackpot being $99 million. That’s much more than the $45 million lottery payout that drew a crowd to the Honey Bee Video Store, Port Richmond, in 1988.
