Sue Dooley, senior drawing manager production coordinator for the Multi-State Lottery Association, said late Wednesday night that three tickets matched the winning numbers and will split the lottery’s latest massive jackpot: $448 million.
“We had three grand prize winners,” Dooley said. “One was in Minnesota and two were in New Jersey.”
The winning numbers drawn Wednesday night were: 05, 25, 30, 58, 59 and Powerball 32.
Lottery officials in the Garden State confirmed that two of the three tickets were sold in New Jersey. A spokeswoman for the New Jersey Lottery said one of the tickets was purchased at a Super Stop & Shop store in South Brunswick and the other one at an Acme Markets store in Little Egg Harbor.
Information on the Minnesota ticket was not available early Thursday.
The allure of capturing the latest massive Powerball jackpot had players in a buying frenzy, further confirming a trend that lottery officials say has become the big ticket norm: Fatigued Powerball players, increasingly blase about smaller payouts, often don’t get into the game until the jackpot offers big bucks.
During Wednesday night’s telecast, Powerball officials announced the jackpot that previously in the day was pegged at $425 million had grown to an estimated $448 million.
There where 34 second-prize winners of $1,000,000.00 (tickets sold in : CA,CT,FL,GA,IL,KS,LA,MD,MO,NE,NY,OR,PA,TN,TX,VA)
3 Second prize winners were from the State of New York, from Putnam, Kings and Monroe counties.
