There was one New Jersey Lottery ticket sold that matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball drawn for the Wednesday, May 9 drawing winning the $50,000 third-tier prize. If that ticket had been purchased with Power Play, it would have multiplied the prize to $100,000.
The winning ticket from Wednesday night’s drawing was sold at Glorys Dis Mkt, 584 Cedar Swamp Rd., Jackson in Ocean County.
The winning numbers for the Wednesday, May 9 drawing were: 11, 16, 38, 50 and 69. The Red Power Ball number was 19. The Multiplier number was 02. The Powerball jackpot rolls to $257,000,000 for the next drawing to be held Saturday, May 12 at 10:59 pm.
In addition to the third-tier prizewinning ticket sold, there were 38,457 New Jersey players who took home an estimated $188,496 in prizes ranging from $4 to $200, according to Lottery Acting Executive Director John M. White.
“Congratulations to all of the lottery players who purchased winning tickets and to the retailers that sold them,” said White. “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.”
