SUSSEX COUNTY, NJ — One Sussex County shopper is now $1 million richer after a lucky Powerball purchase.
On Saturday, Family Drug Shops in Branchville, located at 19 Main Street, sold a Powerball ticket that won $1 million.
The ticket matched Saturday's winning numbers of 8, 10, 14, 45 and 59. It did not match the Powerball drawn, 5, making it the only second-prize ticket bought across the country.
The Powerball's top prize was not won during the Monday drawing either, meaning the top prize has climbed to $498 million, with a cash value of $221 million, for Wednesday's drawing.
Powerball drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. EST.
Another $1.3 million prize was sold in Ocean County on Thursday.
