TRENTON, N.J. — Someone is holding on to the sole winning Powerball ticket that was sold in New Jersey, lottery officials said Sunday.
Only one ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing for the $429.6 million jackpot, said Powerball spokeswoman Kelly Cripe. The winning Powerball numbers were 5-25-26-44-66 and the Powerball was 9.
Lottery officials in New Jersey said Sunday the winning ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven store in Trenton, the state’s capital. It was purchased as a cash ticket and is valued at $284 million. The ticket holder has not yet come forward to claim the prize.
New Jersey Lottery executive director Carole Hedinger said the jackpot is the seventh-largest in Powerball history. The jackpot was the largest since a record $1.6 billion payout in January.
