Six New Jersey Stores Sell $100,000 Powerball Tickets in Record Drawing

Someone at a small Erma food mart got lucky in Saturday's huge $1.8 billion Powerball drawing. They weren't alone - five other people across New Jersey also won $100,000 prizes.

The Erma winner matched four white balls and the Power Ball - hitting numbers 11, 23, 44, 61, 62, and Power Ball 17. Nobody has come forward yet to get their money.

Five other people got the same numbers in Woodlynne, Englishtown, Toms River, Allentown, and Stockholm. Each ticket got four numbers plus the Power Ball with a Power Play multiplier.

Even better news - someone in Camden County won $1 million by matching five numbers. The area seems to be on a winning streak lately.

Winners need to sign their tickets and get in touch with lottery officials. Any prizes nobody claims end up helping state education and programs for older folks.

The Erma food mart has become pretty popular since the win. People keep stopping by to check it out after hearing about the lucky ticket.

Most people who win big don't rush to claim their money - they usually talk to financial advisors first. The state has strict rules about how long you have to claim your winnings.

The Powerball jackpot dropped back to $20 million after this drawing. If you're still feeling lucky, Tuesday's Mega Millions is up to $358 million.

Stores that sell winning tickets often become pretty famous locally. People think they might have better luck buying tickets where someone else won big.

New Jersey keeps churning out winners, showing how much people here love playing the lottery. Even after big wins, people keep buying tickets.
