TRENTON, NJ – A Powerball ticket purchased in Nutley, Essex County, secured a $2 million prize in the Saturday, Dec. 21 drawing, marking a major win for a New Jersey player.
The winning ticket matched all five white balls—01, 12, 17, 21, and 58—and the Power Play multiplier of 3X. It was sold at Lucky 7 Deli and Food Mart on Centre Street.
Two additional significant prizes were also claimed in New Jersey. A player on Jackpot.com matched four white balls and the multiplier, earning $150,000, while another ticket sold at ShopRite in Middletown, Monmouth County, matched four white balls and the Powerball to win $50,000.
The Powerball jackpot itself went unclaimed, leaving the grand prize at an estimated $103 million heading into tonight’s drawing.
The Double Play feature, an optional add-on for Powerball tickets, also saw no jackpot winner on Saturday. The Double Play numbers drawn were 29, 45, 46, 51, and 59, with a Double Play ball of 03.
