A
jackpot dream has come true for the lucky owner of one Powerball
ticket worth $338.3 million, and lottery officials in New Jersey are
holding a press conference Monday to reveal some details about
the lucky ticket from Saturday's drawing.
At
the Soda King in Manalapan, N.J., clerk Govind Patel said he is
hoping the store's recent good fortune will continue. A week ago a
lucky customer hit five numbers -- and won $1 million.
"We
are very excited," Patel said. "It would amazing if we sold
another winner."
It
would also bring a small financial windfall -- the store that sells
the winning ticket claims a $10,000 check. The winning numbers from
Saturday night's drawing: 17, 29, 31, 52, 53 and Powerball 31. It's
the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history. A lump sum payout
would be $221 million.
Other
Powerball players also stand to get rich. One Powerball ticket that
matched five numbers, sold in Iowa, is good for $2 million. Spreading
the wealth even further, 13 tickets worth a cool $1 million were
sold in 11 states. Florida and Pennsylvania each had two; Arizona,
Illinois, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
South Carolina and Virginia had one each.
