New Jersey’s Reputation for Lottery Luck

But when it comes to playing and winning the Mega Ball and the Powerball, New Jersey seems to be a pretty lucky state.

Four More Big Lottery Wins in the Garden State

Once again, lady luck has reached out and touched a few Jersey residents, with 4 pretty nice-sized jackpots being claimed.

According to NJ.com, two 100 thousand dollar tickets and 2 fifty thousand dollar winning lottery tickets were sold in the Garden State.

Where the Winning Tickets Were Sold

The one-hundred-thousand-dollar tickets were purchased in Warren County and Bergen County.

One of the fifty-thousand-dollar winning jackpot tickets was sold in Atlantic County, at a Wawa, while the other winning fifty-thousand-dollar ticket was purchased on the Jackpot app.

The Current Powerball Jackpot Is Still Massive

Even with these four winners, nobody was able to score the big jackpot, leaving $501 million on the table for Monday's Powerball drawing.

If you do win and take the cash-out option, it would only leave you with 220 Million Dollars, but hey, that's not nothing!
