TRENTON (March 26, 2018) – New Jersey Lottery Acting Executive Director John M. White announced that a Louisiana Lottery ticketholder won the $55.9 million Powerball jackpot from the Saturday, March 24 drawing. The winning numbers for Saturday night’s drawing were:  10, 33, 45, 53, and 56. The Red Power Ball was 24, and the Multiplier was 03. The Powerball jackpot resets to $40,000,000 for the next drawing to be held on Wednesday, March 28 at 10:59 pm.  

In addition, one New Jersey Lottery ticket was sold that matched the four white balls and the Powerball drawn, winning the $50,000 third prize. That ticket was purchased at El Rey Supermarket, 80-82 3rd St., Elizabeth in Union County. If that ticket had been purchased with the Power Play Multiplier option, it would have been worth $150,000.  

In addition to the second and third-tier prizewinning tickets sold, there were 21,241 New Jersey players who took home an estimated $118,021 in prizes ranging from $4 to $300, according to White.  

“Congratulations to all of the lottery players who purchased winning tickets and to the retailers that sold them,” said White. “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. The jackpot prize is not multiplied.”
