New Jersey Scores Two $1 Million Powerball Wins as Jackpot Soars to $1.3 Billion for Wednesday’s Drawing
Two Powerball tickets sold in New Jersey each matched five white balls to secure $1 million prizes during Monday night’s drawing, lottery officials confirmed Tuesday. The announcement comes as the Powerball jackpot continues its monumental climb, now estimated at a staggering $1.3 billion for Wednesday, September 3rd’s drawing.
Nationwide, ten tickets, including the two from New Jersey, won $1 million by matching the five white balls. Additionally, two tickets sold in Montana and North Carolina opted for the Power Play option, doubling their winnings to $2 million. The winning white balls for Monday’s drawing were 8, 23, 25, 40, 53, with the red Powerball being 5.
Wednesday’s drawing will be the 41st since the jackpot was last claimed on May 31. A potential winner on Wednesday would have the choice between the annuitized $1.3 billion or a lump sum cash option of $589 million, both figures before taxes. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot stand at 1 in 292.2 million.
