There was one New Jersey Lottery ticket sold that matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball drawn for the Saturday, April 29 drawing winning the $50,000 third-tier prize.
If that ticket had been purchased with the Power Play Multiplier option, it would have been worth $100,000.
The winning ticket from Saturday night’s drawing was sold at Clayton Foods Mart, 235 South Delsea Drive, Clayton in Gloucester County.
The winning numbers for the Saturday, April 29 drawing were: 22, 23, 24, 45 and 62. The Red Power Ball number was 05. The Multiplier number was 02.
The Powerball jackpot rolls to $130,000,000 for the next drawing to be held Wednesday, May 3 at 10:59 pm.
In addition to the third-tier prizewinning ticket sold, there were 29,247 New Jersey players who took home an estimated $144,037 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.”
