Three Powerball tickets worth $50,000 each were sold at liquor stores in New Jersey for Saturday’s lottery drawing.
Each third-prize ticket matched four numbers plus the Powerball.
The $50,000 Powerball tickets were sold at:
- Super Discount Liquors on Rahway Avenue in Elizabeth, Union County
- B2 Liquors on Summer Avenue in Newark, Essex County
- Rite Liquors on County Line Road in Lakewood, Ocean County
Saturday’s winning Powerball numbers were: 7, 16, 19, 45 and 64. The Powerball drawn was 25 with a Power Play of 3X.
No one across the county hit Saturday’s $437 million jackpot. Second-prize tickets matching five numbers but not the Powerball were sold in California (worth $243,664) and Pennsylvania (worth $1 million).
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 jackpot. Those winning numbers were: 19, 39, 53, 57 and 68. The Double Play number drawn was 16.
Monday’s Powerball jackpot is worth an estimated $456 million with a cash option of $219.9 million.
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 to win a third prize of at least $50,000.
Powerball drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
