There was one New Jersey Lottery ticket sold that matched the five white balls drawn to win the $1,000,000 second-prize for the Wednesday, May 10 drawing.
If that ticket had been purchased with the Power Play Multiplier option, it would have doubled the prize to $2,000,000.
The winning ticket was purchased in Morris County at On the Go, 341 Route 46 W., Dover.
The winning numbers for the Wednesday, May 10 drawing were: 29, 31, 46, 56 and 62. The Red Power Ball number was 08. The Multiplier number was 02. The Powerball jackpot rolls to $184,000,000 for the next drawing to be held Saturday, May 13 at 10:59 pm.
In addition, two New Jersey Lottery tickets were sold that matched the four white balls and the Powerball drawn, winning the $50,000 third prize. If those tickets had been purchased with Power Play, it would have multiplied the prize to $100,000.
The tickets were purchased at the following locations:
Atlantic County: Community Liquor & Wine, 137 N. Dorsey Ave., Ventnor; and
Camden County: Rodriguez Discount Store, 801 State St., Camden.
In addition to the second and third-tier prizewinning tickets sold, there were 33,462 New Jersey players who took home an estimated $165,149 in prizes ranging from $4 to $200, according to Lottery Executive Director Carole Hedinger.
“Congratulations to all of the lottery players who purchased winning tickets and to the retailers that sold them,” said Hedinger. “I’d like to remind players to purchase their Powerball tickets with a winning attitude and add Power Play to the ticket purchase. Power Play doubles the second prize from one million dollars to two million dollars and multiplies all of the seven lower prize sets available in the game by the number drawn that evening. The jackpot prize is not multiplied.”
