Ocean's 16 Claim Their $86 Million Ticket at Lottery Headquarters
The New Jersey Lottery games create thousands of winners every day. Some days the winnings are a bit larger than other days. That was the case when lightning struck New Jersey twice in one night as it sold two jackpot winning tickets for the Wednesday, August 7 Powerball drawing. Minnesota sold a third jackpot winning ticket. This is the first time in 20 years that two winning jackpot tickets were sold in the same state. The last time that happened was on December 22, 1993 and they were sold in the District of Columbia.
