There were two New Jersey Lottery tickets sold that matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball drawn for the Wednesday, May 2 drawing winning the $50,000 third-tier prize.
If those tickets had been purchased with Power Play, it would have multiplied the prizes to $100,000.

* Salem County: Wawa #8332, 418 No. Broadway, Pennsville.
The winning numbers for the Wednesday, May 2 drawing were: 05, 14, 31, 40 and 50. The Red Power Ball number was 06. The Multiplier number was 02.
The Powerball jackpot rolls to $215,000,000 for the next drawing to be held Saturday, May 5 at 10:59 pm.
In addition to the third-tier prizewinning tickets sold, there were 32,693 New Jersey players who took home an estimated $160,733 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.”
