TRENTON (August 16, 2018) – The Powerball jackpot has rolled to $50 million! Although no one won the jackpot in the August 15th drawing, 16,323 New Jersey players took home an estimated $83,517 in prizes ranging from $4 to $200, according to Lottery Acting Executive Director James Carey.

“Congratulations to all of the lottery players who purchased winning tickets and to the retailers that sold them,” said Carey. “I’d like to remind players to purchase their Powerball tickets with a winning attitude and add Power Play to the ticket purchase. Power Play doubles the second prize from one million dollars to two million dollars and multiplies all of the seven lower prize sets available in the game by the number drawn that evening.
