EDISON, NJ – A lucky Powerball player in Edison is $1 million richer after purchasing a winning ticket at a local gas station over the weekend, according to NJ Lottery officials.
The winning ticket was sold at R&J Fuels, located at 421 Route 1 South in Edison. The ticket matched all five white ball numbers drawn on Saturday night – 20, 21, 40, 49 and 55 – but missed the Powerball number, which was 11. This near-perfect match earned the ticket holder the game’s second-tier prize of $1 million.
Lottery officials are encouraging all players to check their tickets carefully, as even non-jackpot winning tickets can carry significant prizes. The retailer who sold the winning ticket will also receive a bonus commission for their role in making someone a millionaire.
As the excitement builds around this big win, the identity of the lucky winner remains a mystery. NJ Lottery officials are waiting for the winner to come forward and claim their prize. They advise the winner to sign the back of their ticket, make a copy for their records, and contact the Lottery’s headquarters to arrange for claiming their winnings.
