Powerball mystery: Who is the lucky New Jersey resident who bought the lone winning ticket

 Some lucky New Jerseyan hit the $338.3 million Powerball jackpot.


A single ticket sold in the Garden State matched all six numbers in Saturday night’s drawing for the sixth largest Powerball prize in history.

The lucky numbers were 7, 29, 31, 52, 53 and Powerball 31. If the winner opts for a lump sum payout, he’ll receive $221 million after taxes.

 The New Jersey Lottery said it would release further information about the winning ticket Monday, including where it was purchased and if the winner had come forward.

Thirteen other tickets matched all but the final Powerball number Saturday night — each yielding a cool $1 million, pre-tax.

Those tickets were sold in New Jersey and 10 other states.

 The last Powerball jackpot was doled out in early February, when Dave Honeywell in Virginia bought the winning ticket and took a cash lump sum for his $217 million jackpot.

The largest Powerball jackpot ever came in at $587.5 million in November.
