Here’s Where the Winning $1 Million Powerball Tickets Were Sold in New Jersey
We now know where the winning $1 million Powerball tickets were sold in New Jersey for Wednesday night's drawing.
With over $1 billion up for grabs last night, people all over the Garden State were dreaming of how they would spend all of that money.
Assuming you lost 40 percent of it to taxes, here's what you could have bought...
- 22 million pizzas on any given Boardwalk in New Jersey
- You could have parked for 24 million days at a municipal parking lot in Ocean City
- You could have crossed any of the Delaware River bridges 120 million times
- Over 33,000,000 trips through the tunnels into New York City would have been paid for
- 10 million EZ-Pass violations could have been paid-off
All of those dreams were alive and well at about 10:58 last night. Within two or three minutes, they were all gone -- that is unless you were one of the two people in the Garden State that won $1 million.
The huge billion-dollar Powerball jackpot was won by one person in California, but two people in New Jersey are having a pretty good day.
Two tickets here matched all five numbers but not the Powerball, making those little slips of paper worth a million bucks.
