A lucky individual from North Jersey is now a millionaire after purchasing a winning Powerball ticket. The ticket, which was sold at a local convenience store, is worth a whopping one million dollars. The winner has yet to come forward to claim their prize.
The winning numbers were 12, 17, 20, 21, and 26, with a Powerball number of 8. The odds of winning the second-tier prize in Powerball are 1 in 11,688,054, making this win a truly remarkable one.
The ticket was sold at a convenience store in North Jersey, but the exact location of the store has not been disclosed. The store will receive a bonus of $2,000 for selling the winning ticket.
Lottery officials are urging the winner to sign the back of the ticket and contact the New Jersey Lottery headquarters to claim their prize. Winners have one year from the drawing date to claim their prize.
This win comes just weeks after another New Jersey resident won a $238 million Powerball jackpot. The winning ticket was sold at a deli in Hudson County.
