$2M Powerball ticket sold in New Jersey; prize is 2nd in the state this week
NEW JERSEY (WABC) -- Someone woke up from their Christmas slumber $2 million richer on Thursday.
New Jersey lottery officials said one person matched all five white balls drawn, plus the multiplier, to win $2 million in Wednesday night's Powerball drawing.
The winning numbers were 15, 26, 27, 30, 35. The Powerball was 3 and the Power Play was 3X.
Officials say the person won through Jackpot.com, a Middlesex County-based seller, so it's not clear yet which store sold the winning ticket.
