A new jersey guy wins $1 million recently in Monday's lottery draw

One lucky New Jersey lottery player won a $1 million in Monday night's Powerball.

The winning ticket was sold at the 7-Eleven on Route 35 in Holmdel, according to the New Jersey Lottery.

In addition to the NJ ticket, one ticket sold in Spring Valley, California also matched all five white balls to win $222,615.

California bases it's prizes on actual tickets sold in the state, whereas other states award $1 million as a second-tier prize.

No won matched all six balls to win the jackpot so the grand prize will increase to $41 million for Wednesday's drawing with a cash option of $21.2 million, according to the Powerball website.

The jackpot was last won on July 19 when a lottery player in California won the $1.08 billion jackpot - the third largest Powerball ever.
