Trenton, N.J. (AP) -- Marcelo Chilel said the convenience store where he works in New Jersey's capital city does a steady lottery business, with more people showing up when the jackpots get big. One of the people that came this past week is now holding one of the largest winning tickets in the history of Powerball.
Only one ticket matched all six numbers in Saturday night's drawing for a $429.6 million jackpot, said Powerball spokeswoman Kelly Cripe, and New Jersey lottery officials said Sunday it was sold at a 7-Eleven store in Trenton. The winning Powerball numbers were 5-25-26-44-66 and the Powerball number was 9.
