There was one New Jersey Lottery ticket sold that matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball drawn for the Saturday, September 1 drawing winning the $50,000 third-tier prize. If that ticket had been purchased with Power Play, it would have multiplied the prize to $150,000.
The winning ticket from Saturday night’s drawing was sold at Kennedy Gas Inc., 3530 Kennedy Blvd., Jersey City in Hudson County.
The winning numbers for the Saturday, September 1 drawing were: 11, 54, 55, 61 and 66. The Red Power Ball number was 09. The Multiplier number was 03.
The Powerball jackpot rolls to $100,000,000 for the next drawing to be held Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 10:59 pm.
In addition to the third-tier prizewinning ticket sold, there were 22,361 New Jersey players who took home an estimated $125,467 in prizes ranging from $4 to $300, according to Lottery Acting Executive Director James Carey.
“Congratulations to all of the lottery players who purchased winning tickets and to the retailers that sold them,” said Carey. “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.”
