A lottery ticket worth $100,000 was sold in Cape May County, New Jersey. The winning Powerball ticket was purchased at Pantry 1 Food Mart on Seashore Road in Erma. The prize came from Saturday’s drawing, where the jackpot had climbed to $1.8 billion before being hit by players in Missouri and Texas.
New Jersey Lottery officials confirmed that the Erma ticket matched four of the five white balls plus the Power Ball. The winner has not yet stepped forward to claim the money.
More Winning Lottery Tickets Across the State
In the same drawing, a Camden County player matched five numbers and missed only the Power Ball. That ticket is worth $1 million. Officials said five other tickets in New Jersey won $100,000 each.
Those winning tickets were sold in Woodlynne, Englishtown, Toms River, Allentown, and Stockholm. Each matched four numbers and the Power Ball with the Power Play option.
The winning numbers for Saturday were 11, 23, 44, 61, and 62. The Power Ball was 17. According to Associated Press reports, more than 30 states had smaller prize winners in this drawing.
Impact of the Jackpot and Other Games
The Powerball jackpot was reset after the massive win and now stands at $20 million. Lottery officials expect strong ticket sales for the next drawing.
Meanwhile, the Mega Millions jackpot continues to grow. It has reached $358 million, with the next drawing scheduled for Tuesday. Players across the country are expected to chase the growing prize.
Lottery officials remind winners to sign the back of their tickets and contact state offices to claim prizes. All unclaimed winnings eventually return to state programs after a set period.
The $100,000 win in Erma highlights how smaller prizes still bring life-changing money to local players. Winners now wait for their chance to step forward and collect.
