Burlco tickets win big Powerball, Cash 5 prizes

It was a lucky weekend for lottery players in Burlington County.

Three tickets sold there won big prizes in weekend drawings: A Powerball ticket worth $1 million was sold in Lumberton, while tickets sold in Bordentown and Mount Laurel split a $301,720 Cash 5 jackpot.

The lucky Powerball ticket matched all five white balls drawn in Saturday's game (11, 23, 42, 52 and 68) but missed the Powerball of 6.

That ticket was sold at the One Stop Shoppe located at 774 Eayrestown Road in Lumberton, New Jersey Lottery officials said.

Another ticket sold in New Jersey won $150,000 by matching four white balls and the Powerball. That ticket, which was purchased with the power play option, boosting its prize from the normal $50,000, was sold at Krauszer's Food Store at 1886 Route 130 in North Brunswick, Middlesex County.

No one won the $101 million jackpot Saturday, which now rolls over to $116 million for the annuity, or $75.6 million for the cash option, for Wednesday's drawing.

Two players - one from Arizona and another from Wisconsin - won $2 million each by matching the five white balls and purchasing their tickets with the power play option. A Texas player also won $1 million.

Friday's Jersey Cash 5 drawing was also lucky for Burlington County players.

Two tickets matched all five numbers drawn: 4, 21, 37, 41 and 43.

The ticketholders will get $150,860 each.

The winners bought their tickets at Country Cousins Deli at 310 Ward Ave. in Bordentown and at Masonville News & Food Store at 241 Masonville Road in Mount Laurel, lottery officials said. Each shop gets a $2,000 bonus.

Meanwhile, in other lottery news, the jackpot in the other major multistate game, Mega Millions, also rises this week after no one won over the weekend. The top prize for Tuesday's drawing stands at $43 million, or $27 million cash.
