A $1 million Powerball lottery ticket bought in New Jersey for Saturday’s drawing was sold at a Walmart store in Union County.
The winner made the lucky purchase at the big box store on West Edgar Road in Linden, officials from the New Jersey Lottery said Monday morning.
No one across the nation hit the top jackpot of $243.4 million, pushing the top prize for Monday night’s drawing to an estimated $253 million. The cash option is worth about $178.9 million.
Saturday’s winning Powerball numbers were: 8, 32, 55, 64 and 66. The Powerball drawn was 10 with a Power Play of 2x.
The New Jersey ticket was one of two second-prize tickets sold across the country. A ticket also matching five numbers but not the Powerball was bought in California.
The California ticket is worth $1,675,676. California lottery prizes vary depending on ticket sales and number of winners. They differ from the fixed second prizes offered in other participating states.
In addition, no one hit the secondary, $10 million Double Play drawing on Saturday. There were also no second-prize, $500,000 tickets sold. The Double Play numbers drawn were: 7, 11, 19, 31 and 58. The Double Play Powerball was 14.
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.
New Jersey Lottery offices remain open by appointment more than 20 months into the coronavirus pandemic.
