3 tickets split $564M Powerball jackpot, $1M ticket sold in N.J.

O.K. three tickets were winners in the Powerball jackpot, and all three were not sold in New Jersey, but there is a one million dollar ticket that was sold in our state.

The jackpot winning tickets for the fifth-biggest lottery prize in U.S. history were sold in Texas, North Carolina and Puerto Rico, but according to nj.com, a ticket purchased somewhere in New Jersey was one of 18 across the country to match five numbers.

New Jersey Lottery officials will likely announce where the $1 million ticket was sold by early afternoon. In addition, four tickets sold in New Jersey matched four numbers plus the Powerball and are worth $10,000.

The winning numbers drawn were 25, 11, 54, 13 and 39. The Powerball selected was 19.

Should the jackpot winners select the lump sum option, each would get a one-third share of $381,138,450.16 before taxes.
