Two New Jersey Lottery tickets were sold that matched the four white balls and the Powerball drawn for the Wednesday contest as the jackpot has grown to $478 million, lottery officials said.

The two biggest winners won the $50,000 third-tier prize. The next drawing will be held Saturday, July 30 at 10:59 p.m.

• Cape May County: Shoprite of Marmora, 4 W. Roosevelt Blvd., Marmora, and
• Morris County: Baldwin News & Food Store, 138 Baldwin Road, Parsippany.

If those tickets were purchased with Power Play, they would have been worth $100,000 each, lottery officials said.

The winning numbers for the Wednesday drawing were: 10, 47, 50, 65 and 68. The Red Power Ball number was 24. The Multiplier number was 02.

In addition to the third-tier prizewinning tickets sold, there were 106,028 New Jersey players who took home an estimated $504,453 in prizes ranging from $4 to $200, according to Lottery Executive Director Carole Hedinger.

“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."
