CARTERET, NJ – A lucky New Jersey Lottery ticket holder is celebrating after winning a $100,000 prize in the Powerball drawing held on Saturday, July 8. The ticket matched four of the five white balls and the Power Ball, earning the second-tier prize of $50,000.
However, since the ticket was purchased with the Power Play option, the prize was doubled to a total of $100,000. The winning ticket was sold at Middlesex Food Store, located at 120 Middlesex Ave. in Carteret, Middlesex County.
The winning numbers for the Saturday drawing were 07, 23, 24, 32, and 43. The Red Power Ball number was 18, and the Power Play multiplier was 2X. In total, 85,613 New Jersey players won prizes ranging from $4 to $200, amounting to an estimated total of $436,216 in winnings.
As the Powerball jackpot was not won in the Saturday drawing, it will roll over to a staggering $650,000,000 for the next drawing, which is scheduled to take place on Monday, July 10, at 10:59 pm.
