Passaic County Lottery Player Wins $50K

HEWITT, NJ — Five New Jersey lottery players took home $50,000 in the Monday Powerball drawing, but compared to one player in California, they were merely runners-up.

One California Lottery ticketholder won the $699.8 million Powerball jackpot from the Monday drawing, the fifth largest Powerball jackpot on record, and the first jackpot won in a Monday drawing, officials said.

Still, $50,000 is absolutely nothing to scoff at, and the winners were all located in North Jersey.

Here's where the tickets were sold:

• Bergen County: Krauszer’s Food Store, 394 Ramapo Valley Rd., Oakland;
• Essex County: Victoria’s Supermarket 1, 108 Broad St., Newark;
• Morris County: Country Farm, 224 Washington St., Boonton;
• Morris County: Quick Chek #162, 1435 Route 23 South, Butler; and,
• Passaic County: Jackpocket, 355 Warwick Tpke., Hewitt.
