New Jersey had quite a bit of luck Wednesday night with the Powerball lottery drawing as the state had more than one big winner.

Officials with the New Jersey Lottery say two tickets matched all five white balls last night, which makes them both worth $1 million.

However, one ticket was purchased with the Power Play Multiplier which doubled it to $2 million.

The retailer who sold out the winning lottery ticket will also get a bonus for selling it.

The winner has to reach the nearest lottery headquarters for further documentation formalities and for claiming their winning prize money, lottery officials said.

They also announced that the winner has only 180 days from the day of the lottery draw to claim the winning prize money and if not claimed then it will be donated to a charity.
