A lucky Powerball lottery player from Bergen County scoops a big jackpot
One lucky Bergen County lottery player won $50,000 last week playing Powerball, the New Jersey Lottery announced on Monday.
The winning ticket for the Dec. 4 Powerball drawing was sold at the Super Deal Convenience Store on Anderson Avenue in Fairview.
You can win a $50,000 prize by matching four of the five white balls, plus the Powerball. Here were the winning Powerball numbers for Dec. 4.
Meanwhile the Powerball jackpot continued to climb, reaching $468 million for Monday night's drawing with a cash option of $225.3 million.
The jackpot was last won on Oct. 11 when a lottery player in California won the $1.765 billion jackpot.
Lottery officials encourage the winner to come forward, validate their ticket, and begin the process of claiming their substantial prize.
