Terre Haute, IN, November 5, 2026 — A Powerball ticket sold in New Jersey has matched all six numbers for an estimated $847 million jackpot, lottery officials announced. The draw occurred recently, and the specific date was not provided in the summary.

The winning ticket is the sole match for the grand prize, which is one of the largest Powerball jackpots in the history of the game. The estimated jackpot of $847 million is based on annuity payments over 30 years. Powerball drawings are held multiple times a week, and the prize had been growing for weeks before this winning ticket was sold.

The exact location within New Jersey where the ticket was purchased was not specified in the available information. While the ticket holder has won the grand prize, the process of claiming such a significant amount involves security checks and verification by the New Jersey Lottery. Winners typically have the option to receive the prize as a lump sum cash payment or as an annuity paid out over 30 years. The cash value option is typically less than the advertised annuity jackpot.

The Powerball lottery game involves players selecting five numbers from 1 to 69 and one Powerball number from 1 to 26. The odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1 in 292.2 million. While this ticket secured the top prize, there were also numerous other smaller prizes awarded in the same drawing to players who matched some, but not all, of the winning numbers.

Information regarding the winner’s identity will be subject to New Jersey’s lottery disclosure laws, which may allow for anonymity depending on specific circumstances and timeframes. The New Jersey Lottery is expected to provide further details once the claim has been finalized.
