The $1 million Powerball ticket bought in New Jersey for Saturday’s $528.8 million jackpot was sold at a convenience store in Gloucester County.
The winning Powerball ticket, which matched five number but not the Powerball was purchased at Shop & Go on Johnson Road in the Turnersville section of Washington Township, New Jersey Lottery officials said Monday.
Saturday’s winning numbers were: 22, 23, 37, 62, and 63. The Powerball drawn was 19 with a Power Play of 3X.
The Powerball jackpot for Monday’s drawing is worth an estimated $545 million with a cash option of $392.1 million. If someone wins the top prize, it would be the 14th largest prize in U.S. lottery history.
The jackpot has rolled over 37 times since a $286 million ticket was sold in Jacksonville, Florida for the June 5 drawing. The prize was claimed by a trust, which chose a one-time lump sum payment of $196,706,252 before taxes, according to Jacksonville.com
The $1 million New Jersey ticket sold in Saturday’s drawing was one of four second-prize tickets nationally. A ticket sold in Illinois is worth $2 million because the winner spent an extra $1 for the Power Play option. Other $1 million tickets were bought in Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
There were no $10 million jackpot tickets or second-prize $500,000 tickets bought in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 10 other states or Puerto Rico — the places participating in Double Play. The Double Play drawing follows the main drawing.
Saturday’s Double Play numbers were: 14, 18, 27, 31 and 56. The Double Play Powerball was 2.
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 Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states, Washington D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
