$1 Million Powerball Ticket Sold In South Jersey

If you live in South Jersey, you really should be buying lottery tickets. For the third time this week, a lottery ticket purchased in South Jersey hit for $1 million, according to lottery officials.

This time, the ticket was purchased for the Powerball drawing on Wednesday night. It was sold at Rite Aid at 217 Sunset Road in Willingboro, Burlington County.

The winning numbers were 3 21 45 53 56 Powerball 22. The ticket sold in Willingboro matched all five white balls drawn. Had it been played with Power Play, it would have multiplied the prize to $2 million.

The $1 million was the second-tier prize. No one hit for the jackpot, which now climbs to $750 million for the drawing on Saturday night, Oct. 27.

There were also eight New Jersey Lottery tickets sold that matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball for a prize of $50,000. Had those tickets been played with the multiplier, they would’ve been worth $100,000. Those tickets were sold at the following locations:
