EAST HANOVER, NJ — One Morris County lottery player is having a very good week, having won $50,000 after their numbers were called during a Powerball drawing.
The winning ticket, one of three sold in the state, was purchased at 7-Eleven #29431 (434 Ridgedale Ave., East Hanover). The winning numbers for the Wednesday, Oct. 11 drawing were 01, 03, 13, 19 and 69. The red Power Ball number was 23, and the multiplier number was 02.
Two other stores also sold winning tickets, and one was purchased with the multiplier, making it worth $100,000.

The Powerball jackpot is now worth $143,000,000; the next drawing will be held on Saturday.
“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.”
