A second-prize, $1 million Powerball lottery ticket was bought in New Jersey for Saturday’s $457 jackpot drawing.
No one across the country won the top prize as the jackpot for the next drawing Wednesday jumped to $472 million with a cash option of $342 million.
The lucky Garden State ticket matched five numbers, but not the Powerball. It was immediately disclosed where the ticket was sold.
Saturday’s winning numbers were: 5, 36, 39, 45, and 57. The Powerball drawn was 11 with a Power Play of 2X.
There were no other large winners in Saturday night’s drawing.
The Powerball jackpot was last hit June 5 when someone who bought a lucky ticket in Jacksonville, Florida won a $285.6 million prize.
The odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot are 292,201,388 to 1. A player who buys a $2 ticket has about a 1 in 11,688,053 chance to match five numbers and win at least $1 million, while the odds are 913,129 to 1 of winning the third prize of at least $50,000.
Powerball is played on Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states, Washington D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
