N.J. has 2 of 3 winners in $448M Powerball drawing
The Garden State may have to change its name to the Lucky State.
Lottery officials say two of the three tickets for Wednesday’s $448 million Powerball jackpot were sold in New Jersey. The other ticket was sold in Minnesota.
The numbers drawn Wednesday night were 05, 25, 30, 58, 59 and Powerball 32.
A spokeswoman for the New Jersey Lottery says one of the tickets was purchased at a Super Stop & Shop store in South Brunswick and the other one at an Acme Markets store in Little Egg Harbor.
In March, 44-year-old Pedro Quezada of Passaic was the sole winner of a Powerball drawing worth $221 million, or about $152 million after taxes. The immigrant from the Dominican Republic owned a bodega.
