Clifton NJ, a Clifton Quick Mart on Lakeview Avenue, sold not one but two winning lottery tickets . The Quick Mart sold one a $23.2 million Powerball ticket and a cool $1 million ticket from the same drawing.
Lottery officials announced the wins for the store on Sunday. The retailer will receive a $30,000 bonus for selling the ticket, with an event scheduled for Monday.
It’s the second time in as many drawings that someone matched all six Powerball numbers after a lottery player in Maryland won the $731.1 million jackpot on Wednesday. The winner of the grand prize will also have the option of choosing the lump-sum payment of $17.3 million.
What are your chances of winning the Powerball, well if you were to play only one set of numbers, would be 1 in 292,201,338. You can of course improve your odds of winning by purchasing more tickets and playing more combinations, but realistically speaking, it won’t make much of a difference.
Nice…and now those people can move out of Clifton !
