$50K Powerball Ticket Sold In Ocean County

TRENTON, NJ — A winning Powerball ticket worth $50,000 from Saturday's drawing was sold in Ocean County, state lottery officials said Tuesday.

The ticket was one of four that won $50,000 for matching four of the white ball numbers drawn plus the red Powerball number, according to a release from Carole Hedinger, executive director of the New Jersey Lottery.

In addition, one New Jersey ticket matched all five white ball numbers drawn Saturday, Feb. 18, and is worth $1 million, the release said.

The $50,000 winner in Ocean County was sold at Wine World, 2085 Route 88, Brick.

The $1 million winner was bought at Wrightstown Wine & Liquor, 403 East Main St., Wrightstown.

The winning numbers for the Saturday, Feb. 18 drawing were: 03, 07, 09, 31 and 33. The red Power Ball number was 20. The multiplier number was 03.

The other $50,000 tickets were purchased at the following locations:

• Burlington County: Quick Food & Tobacco, 1613 Cinnaminson Ave., Cinnaminson;
• Camden County: ACME Markets #7992, 700 Haddonfield Berlin Rd., Voorhees;
• Morris County: BJ’s Wholesale Club #94, 106 Route 23, Riverdale.

No one won the jackpot in Saturday's drawing, so the Powerball jackpot increases to $403 million for the next drawing, on Wednesday, Feb. 22.
