A Wegmans in Montvale, New Jersey Sold the $847 Million Powerball Jackpot Ticket

The run of big Powerball jackpots ended on Wednesday night in northern New Jersey. According to the New Jersey Lottery, the winning ticket was sold at the Wegmans Food Market at 100 Farm View in Montvale, Bergen County, and matched all six numbers in the November 4 drawing for a jackpot of $847 million.

The winning white balls were 15, 34, 41, 53 and 56, with the red Powerball 21 and a 2X Power Play multiplier. The advertised $847 million is the annuity figure, paid as 30 payments over 29 years that grow each year. The one-time cash option is $363.1 million. Both amounts are before taxes.

Powerball ranks the prize as the ninth-largest jackpot in the game's history. The overall odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. Four other tickets matched all five white balls, as reported by Fox Business.

With the top prize claimed, the jackpot resets to $20 million for Saturday's drawing. The winner has not been publicly identified in the sources reviewed.

You do not have to be in the United States to take part in a Powerball drawing. A licensed lottery courier can buy an official ticket on your behalf and hold it securely: you choose your numbers and a drawing, and you are entered from wherever you are.
