Christmas Eve jackpot

What we know:

The winning New York LOTTO ticket was sold at Lovely Cards and Gifts on South Oyster Bay Road in Hicksville. The drawing was Wednesday night, Dec. 24, at 8:15 p.m.

The winning New York LOTTO numbers were:

4, 11, 23, 38, 41, 49 and the bonus number was 26

The winning ticket matched all six numbers, but not the bonus number.

Nine other lucky winners were able to match five of the winning numbers, good for a $2,093 prize.

Dig deeper:

This $13.9 million prize in New York was drawn on the same night that a Powerball ticket sold in Arkansas won a $1.8 billion jackpot, the fourth-biggest lottery prize in U.S. history.

What's next:

New York LOTTO drawings are held every Wednesday and Saturday at 8:15 p.m. Saturday night's drawing will be for an estimated $2 million jackpot.

What we don't know:

The winning ticket holder has not yet been identified. Since the prize is more than $600, the ticket holder will need to visit a New York Lottery Customer Service Center or Prize Claim Center, and bring their winning ticket, a filled out Winner Claim Form (which can be downloaded from the New York Lottery website), a valid government-issued ID and a valid Social Security Number or FEIN.

If your prize is $600 or more, you can claim it at any New York Lottery Customer Service Center, Prize Claim Center or by mail. See details on each method below.

New York is one of several states that does not allow lottery winners to remain anonymous if their jackpot is greater than $5,000, but there are several pieces of legislation in the State Assembly and Senate trying to change that.

"The logo is his signature in writing."

OYSTER BAY, NY — Eddie's Bistro and Bar opened its doors on South Street in Oyster Bay in honor of co-owners Elizabeth and Michelle Reilly's late father and husband, respectively.

The daughter-mother duo said they knew what the name of the restaurant would be from the beginning: Eddie's.

Elizabeth said after her father's death, the restaurant, "is the greatest honor I can do for him."

And, to add to the most heartfelt of tributes, the restaurant's logo, 'Eddie's,' is in his handwriting, she said.

"I knew that signature like the back of my hand," she said.

Elizabeth's late father was born and raised in Scotland, and moved to London when he was 22 years old, meeting Elizabeth's mother, Michelle, there. She said his goal was to come to the U.S., and he did. He still has family in the UK, so Elizabeth and Michelle wanted to honor him in more ways than one.

"There are pieces of my father and Scotland inside the restaurant," Elizabeth said. "Pieces of him everywhere, from the maps, books, and bar tile color. Everything has meaning back to him and Scotland."

Elizabeth said her father was well-known in Oyster Bay and left his mark and a deep and enduring legacy.

"He was a huge soccer fan," she said. "He was a soccer coach, and everyone knew him. It's really nice to see people come in here and say they knew my father and that he's a great guy, coached their kids. Sometimes I don't even know the people who tell me this."

It's a family restaurant, with her brother as a bartender and her sister handling the advertising and marketing.

Elizabeth worked in the hospitality industry for years in Oyster Bay, and said she's always wanted to own a restaurant.

"It's not even like I'm going to work — I just love doing this and seeing customers happy," she said. "I started in hospitality when I was 16 years old, and I always had a passion for it."

She added: "I always wanted my first restaurant to be in Oyster Bay," she said. "It's a very tight-knit family community, so everyone knows everyone.

Elizabeth said that Eddie's Bistro and Bar serves elevated American cuisine.

"Our chef Girolamo Manischalchi is from Italy and runs the kitchen. His food is incredible, and every menu item is his own recipe," she said.

Eddie's officially opened on Sep. 19 and is open Wednesday through Sunday. More information can be found on their website.

GLEN COVE, NY — Team Every Veteran Appreciated (EVA) is hosting their sixth annual Veterans Day group run on Tuesday to honor the nation's heroes. They will stop at 16 Points of Honor and place 30 single roses, 7 wreaths, and 3 cones along their Veterans Day run.

The run is part of their annual 7-day event, where they visit more than 300 points of honor and place more than 350 flowers. Over the past 10 years, Team EVA has placed over 3,000 roses in remembrance.

Organizer Eva Casale said it is so important to honor and remember veterans: "not just on Veterans Day, but every day."

Team EVA has been hosting the event for years as a way to recognize veterans.

"On Veterans Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who stood for something greater than themselves," she said. "Their service echoes through generations, reminding us that freedom is never free. On Veterans Day, we salute all who served — with gratitude, respect, and a promise to carry their legacy forward."

The 26.2-mile run will start at 8 a.m. at West Harbor Beach Memorial Park, 10 West Harbor Beach Dr., Bayville. The 5K run will start at 3 p.m. at VFW Post 347, 15 Hill St., Glen Cove. They will merge for the last 5K and both finish together at the VFW Post 347 in Glen Cove around 4 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public. People are requested to register online so staff members know if they should wait for anyone, but runners can join last minute or even during the route.

Team EVA started the 7 Marathons in 7 Days event in 2016, and when they could not hold the full event in April 2020, they started the one-day Veterans Day Marathon event.

"We encourage and remind all to say ‘Thank you for your service’ to our veterans," she said.
