A Powerball ticket worth $50,000 was purchased for Saturday’s lottery drawing at a corner market in Mercer County.
The lucky third-prize Powerball ticket was bought at Torres Lopez Market Deli on Stuyvesant Avenue in Trenton, the New Jersey Lottery said Monday.
The ticket matched four numbers plus the Powerball.
Saturday’s winning numbers were: 8, 15, 17, 53 and 66. The Powerball drawn was 14 with a Power Play of 3X.
No one across the country hit Saturday’s $48 million jackpot. A second-prize, $1 million ticket was sold in Texas. It matched five numbers but not the Powerball.
In addition, no one won the secondary, $10 million Double Play drawing. Those winning numbers were: 2, 5, 52, 59 and 60. The Double Play number drawn was 16.
Monday’s jackpot is worth an estimated $56 million with a cash option of $24.9 million.
The odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot are 292,201,388 to 1. A player who buys a $2 ticket has about a 1 in 11,688,053 chance to match five numbers and win at least $1 million, while the odds are 913,129 to 1 to win a third prize of at least $50,000.
Powerball drawings are held each Monday, Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

A lucky Powerball player in New Jersey is celebrating big time after winning a $50,000 prize with their ticket purchased at a small market in the state. The winning ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn, as well as the Powerball number, in the recent Powerball drawing.
The market, located in a quiet neighborhood, has become the talk of the town as locals wonder who the lucky winner might be. The store owner shared their excitement at selling the winning ticket and congratulated the winner on their big win.
The winner has not yet come forward to claim their prize, but lottery officials urge the lucky player to sign the back of the ticket and contact them to begin the prize claim process. The Powerball jackpot may not have been won this time, but for one fortunate player, $50,000 is certainly nothing to scoff at. Congratulations to the winner on their stroke of luck!
