$847 Million Powerball Jackpot Sold in New Jersey Still Unclaimed, Ninth-Largest in History
A Powerball ticket sold at a Wegmans supermarket in Montvale, Bergen County, New Jersey, hit the $847 million jackpot — and as of November 8, no one has come forward to claim it.
The ticket matched all the numbers in the November 4 drawing — white balls 15, 34, 41, 53 and 56, with the red Powerball 21 — ending a run of 35 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner. The $847 million prize is the ninth-largest in Powerball history. The winner can take the full amount as an annuity paid over 29 years or a lump-sum cash payment of $363.1 million, both before taxes. The ticket was sold at the Wegmans at 100 Farm View in Montvale.
Under a New Jersey law in effect since 2020, the winner may remain permanently anonymous, so the public may never learn the winner's identity. The prize must be claimed within one year, by November 4, 2027. With the jackpot won, the next Powerball jackpot has reset to about $20 million.
