Print Edition
SOMEONE is holding onto the sole winning Powerball ticket that was sold in New Jersey and it is worth US$429.6 million, lottery officials said yesterday.
Only one ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing, said Powerball spokeswoman Kelly Cripe.
The winning Powerball numbers were 5-25-26-44-66 and the Powerball number was 9.
Lottery officials in New Jersey said yesterday morning that the winning ticket was sold in Mercer County.
The location will not be disclosed until certain security procedures are completed, officials said, and it’s anticipated that the location will be revealed today.
“Winning the Powerball jackpot is a life-changing event,” New Jersey Lottery executive director Carole Hedinger said in a statement. “Congratulations to the ticketholder(s) and to the retailer who sold it. We expect that the winner or winners will take their time before claiming the prize and consult with the appropriate professionals that can assist them in navigating these unchartered waters. We will be anxiously awaiting the phone call.”
Hedinger said the jackpot is the seventh-largest in Powerball jackpot history.
Kripe said a winner electing a one-time cash payout will receive US$284 .1 million.
