Powerball has minted its latest millionaire in New Jersey, with a ticket sold in the state winning $1 million in Wednesday's drawing.

Powerball has minted its latest millionaire in New Jersey, with a ticket sold in the state winning $1 million in Wednesday's drawing.

The ticket matched all five white balls drawn (8, 29, 41, 51 and 58) but missed the Powerball of 5.

No one hit Wednesday's $235 million jackpot, so the top prize for Saturday's drawing now rolls over $267 million for the annuity, or $169 million for the cash option.

New Jersey Lottery officials said the state's lucky ticket was sold in Bergen County, at the Tiger Mart Exxon located at 119 Route 4 W in Englewood.

A ticket sold in Colorado won $2 million by matching the five white balls with the power play option, while three other tickets were also $1 million winners. Those tickets were sold in California, Idaho and Wisconsin.
