A jackpot dream has come true for the lucky owner of one Powerball ticket worth $338.3 million, and lottery officials in New Jersey are holding a press conference Monday to reveal some details about the matching ticket from Saturday’s drawing.
At the Soda King in Manalapan, N.J., clerk Govind Patel said he is hoping the store’s recent good fortune will continue. A week ago a lucky customer hit five numbers — and won $1 million.
“We are very excited,” Patel said. “It would amazing if we sold another winner.”
It would also bring a small financial windfall — the store that sells the winning ticket claims a $10,000 check. The winning numbers from Saturday night’s drawing: 17, 29, 31, 52, 53 and Powerball 31. It’s the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history. A lump sum payout would be $221 million.

It should come as no surprise that the winning ticket was purchased in Passaic. It would almost seem that, despite the odds, there are NEVER any substantial winners sold in Ridgewood. This time there was a 1m (second place) Powerball ticket sold in Mahwah. All the jackpots are in the inner cities. The machines in the suburbs must be programmed to let the Corzine/Florio/McGreevy supporters win.
(if you dont believe me, check the lottery website. Chances of winning up here are nil to zero)
Your chances of winning are independent of location. Did you ever take a stat class?
#1 you sound ridiculous
#2 fact speak. check the stats. If you expect to win, go to a bodega and buy the ticket.
