Ocean County Powerball ticket hits for $50,000 in weekend drawing

Trenton, NJ – A Powerball player in Ocean County scored a $50,000 prize on Saturday’s drawing, with the lucky ticket purchased through the Jackpocket app.

The winning ticket matched four of the five white balls plus the Powerball number in the September 6 drawing, securing a third-tier prize. The ticket was not sold at a traditional retailer, but rather through Jackpocket, a mobile app that allows New Jersey residents to buy official state lottery tickets online.

The New Jersey Lottery confirmed the win on Monday but has not released the identity of the ticket holder. Ocean County has seen multiple recent lottery wins, adding to the state’s growing list of big prize payouts.

Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. The current jackpot has climbed past $400 million.

Players have one year from the drawing date to claim their winnings.
