Winning ticket sold at Super Mart on Mountainview Boulevard.
One lucky Powerball winner purchased a ticket from the Super Mart in Wayne on Mountainview Boulevard, the New Jersey Lottery announced Thursday.
In a press release about the third-prize winners, who walked away with $10,000 each, the lottery organization said one of the 29 winning third place tickets was sold at the Wayne store.
The Powerball drawing, held Wednesday, had a record $550 million at stake.
In addition to the third-prize winners, more than $2.7 million in prizes was given to more than 450,000 New jersey residents who played. The prizes ranged from $4 to $400.
"Congratulations to these fortunate lottery players,” Lottery Executive Director Carole Hedinger said in a press release. “These lucky players now join the growing ranks of New Jersey Powerball winners.”
The winning numbers were 05, 16, 22, 23 and 29 and the Red Powerball number was 6. Another Powerball drawing will be held on Dec. 3 at 11 p.m. The amount was reset to $40 million after Wednesday's winnings.
