There was one New Jersey Lottery ticket sold that matched five of the five white balls drawn for the Saturday, February 16 drawing winning the $1,000,000 second-tier prize. If that ticket had been purchased with Power Play, it would have multiplied the prize to $2,000,000.
The winning ticket from Saturday night’s drawing was sold at Milltown Buy-Rite Liquor, 310 Ryders Ln., Milltown in Middlesex County.
The winning numbers for the Saturday, Feb. 16th drawing were: 29, 30, 41, 48 and 64. The Red Power Ball number was 01. The Multiplier number was 04. The Powerball jackpot rolls to $282,000,000 for the next drawing to be held Wednesday, Feb. 20th at 10:59 pm.
Moreover, there were 33,568 New Jersey players who took home an estimated $199,942 in prizes ranging from $4 to $400, 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.”
