Powerball jackpot grows again, two $1 million tickets sold in NJ

No one won the Powerball jackpot in Wednesday night’s drawing. But there were two winning tickets sold in New Jersey worth at least one million dollars and 17 smaller tier prizes.

The winning numbers were: 2, 11, 22, 35, 60 and red Powerball 23. Two tickets in New Jersey matched the five white balls but not the Powerball and are worth $1 million each.

One of those tickets included the Power Play option, increasing the ticket’s prize to $2 million.

The winning tickets were sold in:

$2 million: Raceway, Route 516 in Matawan
$1 million: The Market at Saddle Brook on Fairlawn Parkway in Saddle Brook
$1 million: Wawa on Route 1 in Edison

16 other prizes worth $50,000 were also sold in New Jersey plus one worth $100,000.

Numbers can also be played via the Jackpocket app or online at Lotto.com.

The jackpot for Saturday’s drawing is $1.5 billion ($745.9 million cash), the second-largest jackpot in Powerball history and third-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.

How much does the average NJ home cost? Median prices by county

Everything is costing more these days — and housing is certainly no exception in New Jersey.

Data for 2023 from January through May, compiled by New Jersey Realtors, shows that homes hit the market and sell in two months or less, on average.

Median prices for single-family homes have reached $500,000 and above in nine counties.

Most counties have seen houses go for more than the list price this year, while the rest have been very close to asking — on average.
