$100K Powerball ticket sold at Wawa in Toms River during billion-dollar jackpot draw
Toms River, NJ – A Powerball ticket worth $100,000 was sold at a Wawa in Toms River for the September 6 drawing, marking a big win for one Ocean County player as the national jackpot soared past $1.7 billion.
The winning ticket was purchased at Wawa #927, located at 94 Route 70 and Massachusetts Avenue. The player matched four of the five white balls and the red Powerball, then doubled their $50,000 prize by selecting the Power Play option.
The draw was part of the historic Powerball run that ended with a $1.787 billion jackpot split between winners in Missouri and Texas. While the Toms River ticket didn’t hit the top prize, it landed a significant third-tier win during one of the most-watched lottery events of the year.
New Jersey Lottery officials confirmed the win, but the ticket holder has not yet been publicly identified. Winners have one year from the date of the drawing to claim their prize.
This win adds to a string of recent Powerball victories across New Jersey, including multiple $50,000 and $100,000 prizes tied to the same drawing.
