Winning Lottery Ticket Sold In South Amboy in Middlesex County

MATAWAN, NJ - If you think that any luck you have is bad, consider this: a winning lottery was sold nearby and probably not to you.

One lucky ticket matched all five numbers drawn winning the $153,466 Jersey Cash 5 jackpot from Wednesday's drawing. The winning numbers were: 05, 07, 18, 23 and 27 and the XTRA number was 02.

The retailer that sold the winning ticket is South Amboy Deli & Subs, 101 N. Stevens Ave., South Amboy in Middlesex County.

“We are thrilled that the winning jackpot ticket was sold at South Amboy Deli & Subs," said Acting Executive Director John M. White. "The retailer will receive a bonus check for $2,000 for selling the winning ticket. Overnight, they have become one more ‘lucky location’ for the very fortunate lottery winner.”

White said 290,546 tickets were purchased for the drawing. By adding XTRA,
for an additional $1 per play, winners are able to multiply their non-jackpot prizes by the XTRA
number drawn.

For correctly matching four of the five numbers drawn, 74 ticketholders won
$325 each and 14 others won $650 each with the addition of XTRA, White said in a release. Moreover, for correctly
matching three of the five numbers drawn, 2,468 ticketholders won $10 each and 455 others
won $20 each with the addition of XTRA.

Some 4,460 ticketholders each won $2 for correctly
matching two of the five numbers drawn with the addition of XTRA on their purchase.

There was one New Jersey Lottery ticket sold that matched four of the five white balls
and the Powerball drawn for Wednesday, winning the $50,000 third-tier prize. If that ticket
had been purchased with the Power Play Multiplier option, it would have been worth $250,000. The winning
ticket from Wednesday night’s drawing was sold at Woodbury Sunoco, 406 Route 45 & Salem Ave.,
Woodbury in Gloucester County.

The winning numbers for the Wednesday ,drawing were 07, 24, 33, 49 and 50. The Red Power
Ball number was 04. The Multiplier number was 05. The Powerball jackpot rolls to $50,000,000 for the next
drawing Saturday at 10:59 p.m.

In addition to the third-tier prize-winning ticket sold, there were 22,240 New Jersey players who took home an estimated $148,315 in prizes ranging from $4 to $500.
