Three Powerball tickets worth $50,000 each were purchased in New Jersey for Monday’s lottery drawing.
Two of the third-prize tickets were sold in Bergen County, while one was bought by a player using the Jackpocket app.
The two tickets sold in stores were purchased at a 7-Eleven in Fair Lawn and a Fuel 4 in Fort Lee, lottery officials said. The exact locations of the stores weren’t immediately available.
Each third-prize ticket matched four numbers plus the Powerball.
Monday’s winning numbers were: 5, 18, 26, 47 and 59. The Powerball drawn was 1 with a Power Play of 3x.
No one won Monday’s $745 million jackpot, pushing the top prize for Wednesday’s drawing to an estimated $775 million with a cash option of $362.5 million.
In addition, three second-prize tickets, each matching five numbers but not the Powerball were bought nationally. Tickets worth $1 million each were bought in Georgia and Illinois.
A ticket worth $501,453 was sold in California. California lottery prizes vary depending on ticket sales and number of winners.
The odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot are more than 292 million to 1. A player who buys a $2 ticket has about a 1 in 11,688,053 chance of matching five numbers (but not the Powerball) and winning a second prize of at least $1 million.
Powerball drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
