The golden ticket for Saturday's $338.3 million Powerball jackpot was bought in New Jersey, but officials said they would divulge no details about the winner until Monday morning.

The golden ticket for Saturday's $338.3 million Powerball jackpot was bought in New Jersey, but officials said they would divulge no details about the winner until Monday morning.

Isaiah DeVries, manager on duty for Love's Truck & Travel in Bordentown, said he got a call at around 11 pm Sunday from a truck driver who said he had bought the winning Powerball ticket lottery at the truck stop.

DeVries said the driver told him he in Delaware but got disconnected before he could give his name.

New Jersey Powerball officials will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. at their headquarters in Lawrenceville, where they planned at least to announce where the winning ticket was bought. The winning numbers were 17, 29, 31, 52 and 53, with a Powerball of 31.

Spokeswoman Judy Drucker said the lottery offices were closed all weekend so "somebody couldn't even claim it if they wanted to" before Monday.

She encouraged winners to call headquarters at 609-599-5800.

New Jersey has had a number of top Powerball winners, the most recent of a $70 million jackpot. But a $338.3 million prize is significant, Drucker said.
