TRENTON, N.J. — When Teddy Jackson heard Sunday morning that the lone winning ticket for a $338.3 million Powerball drawing was sold in New Jersey, the Toms River resident combed through his 40 tickets and hoped for the best.
After checking each ticket at least a couple times, Jackson realized he would have to go to work on Monday.
“There were a few where I had one or two numbers, but that was it,” the 45-year-old electrician said Sunday.
Details on where and when the winning ticket was purchased and other related information were not disclosed Sunday by New Jersey Lottery officials, who also would not say whether anyone claiming to hold the ticket had contacted them as of Sunday afternoon.
Lottery officials say it was the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history. The numbers drawn were 17, 29, 31, 52, 53 and Powerball 31.
Lottery officials said 13 tickets, worth $1 million apiece, matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball.
