New Jersey Lottery officials have revealed where the winning $1 million Powerball ticket from the Wednesday, Aug. 6, drawing was sold.
The lucky winner purchased the ticket from Quick Chek #143 on Washington Avenue in Carlstadt.
The ticket matched all five white balls drawn — 15, 27, 43, 45 and 53 — but missed the red Power Ball number 9, officials said.
It was one of only two $1 million tickets sold nationwide for Wednesday night’s drawing. The other was sold in Ohio. No one hit the jackpot, which has now climbed to $482 million, with a cash value of $218.9 million, ahead of the next drawing on Saturday, Aug. 9.
Meanwhile, another winning ticket worth $50,000 was sold in Sussex County, at Quick Chek #68 in Newton. That player matched four white balls and the Power Ball, officials said.
Ten other New Jersey players won $500 each.
So far in 2025, New Jersey has produced three $1 million Powerball winners, including Wednesday’s ticket. The $482 million jackpot is the second largest of the year.
