HESTER, NJ After buying a lucky Powerball ticket at a Krauser’s store in Chester, a New Jersey lottery player is celebrating winning $50,000. In the Saturday, December 7 drawing, the ticket matched the Powerball and four of the five white balls.
The Krauser’s, situated at 95 West Main Street in the Morris County borough, sold the winning ticket. Now, the establishment is well-known as a destination for lottery players hoping to duplicate the winner’s achievement.
In addition to the Power Ball number 22 and a Power Play multiplier of 2X, the winning numbers for Saturday’s drawing were 01, 31, 43, 55, and 57. The New Jersey player’s gain is one of the largest prizes in the state from the evening, even though a New York ticket holder grabbed the top $256 million jackpot.
24,359 more players in New Jersey won smaller prizes, ranging from $4 to $200, for a total estimated prize of $128,773. The next Powerball drawing is due for Monday night, and the jackpot has been reset to $20 million.
Although the owner of the Chester ticket has not yet come forward to claim their prize, lottery officials advise all players to thoroughly inspect their tickets.
