PARSIPPANY, New Jersey (WABC) -- New Jersey has just minted its newest Powerball millionaire, but no, it's not the half-billion jackpot that's still up for grabs.

The ticket was sold at News Plus on Baldwin Road, New Jersey Lottery officials confirmed, though there is no word yet on who purchased it.
