A lottery player in New Jersey is about to be millions of dollars richer after hitting the Powerball jackpot late Monday night.
A single ticket sold in the Garden State matched all six numbers to win a jackpot worth $222.6 million.
The winning numbers for the latest drawing — broadcast live from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee — were the white balls 3, 10, 33, 58, 59 and the red Powerball 9.
Players need to match all five white balls in addition to the red Powerball to claim the jackpot — which is no easy task.
The overall odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.
