HAMBURG, NJ — A lottery ticket purchase paid off big time for one Sussex County player, who just became $50,000 richer.
The winning $50,000 ticket was sold at the Road Runner Food Store, 170 Route 23 S., in Hamburg. Had it been purchased with the multiplier, it would have been worth $150,000.
The Saturday night winning numbers were 20, 26, 32, 38 and 58. The red Power Ball was 03, and the multiplier was 02.

161,885 New Jersey players also won, taking home an estimated $774,385 in prizes ranging from $4 to $200.
“Congratulations to all of the lottery players who purchased winning tickets and to the retailers that sold them,” said Hedinger. “I’d like to remind players to purchase their Powerball tickets with a winning attitude and add Power Play to the ticket purchase. Power Play doubles the second prize from one million dollars to two million dollars and multiplies all of the seven lower prize sets available in the game by the number drawn that evening. The jackpot prize is not multiplied.”
