One lucky powerball player in New Jersey is now a millionaire, Powerball announced Saturday night.
No one claimed the $ 199 million jackpot in Saturday night's drawing, and only one player – someone who got their ticket in New Jersey – claimed a million-dollar prize.
Powerball has not yet announced where in New Jersey the winning ticket was sold. The winning numbers were: 6, 16, 23, 30, 61. Powerball: 2. Power Play 2x.
One $ 2 Million Power Play match ticket was sold in Florida, but other states struck out on any big wins.
It's been more than a lucky winner in New Berlin, Wisconsin matched the numbers and hit the $ 768.4 million jackpot.
Manuel Franco, 24, claimed the third-largest prize in U.S. lottery history last month. The cash option for the massive March 27 jackpot was worth $ 477 million.
The odds of hitting the powerball jackpot are 292,201,388 to 1. A player who buys a $ 2 ticket has about 1 in 11,688,053 chance to match five numbers and win at least $ 1 million.
Powerball is played in 44 states, Washington D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
