Single Ticket Wins $847 Million Powerball Jackpot in New Jersey

A single ticket sold in New Jersey matched all six numbers in the Wednesday, November 4, 2026 Powerball drawing and won a jackpot of $847 million. Powerball confirmed the win on Thursday, November 5. It is the ninth largest jackpot in Powerball history.

The winning numbers were white balls 15, 34, 41, 53 and 56, with red Powerball 21. The Power Play multiplier was 2X. The ticket was sold at the Wegmans supermarket in Montvale, in Bergen County, according to the New Jersey Lottery, as reported by NorthJersey.com. The store sits on Farm View in Montvale. No winner has been named, and no claim has been announced in the sources checked for this report.

What the winner can choose

The winner can take the full $847 million as an annuitized prize or take a lump sum cash payment of $363.1 million. Both options are before taxes. Powerball said that if the winner picks the annuity, the prize is paid in 30 increasing payments over 29 years.

The advertised jackpot before the drawing was $835 million, and it rose to $847 million on higher than expected sales, NorthJersey.com reported. After the result, Powerball Product Group chair Stephen Durrell said back to back jackpot runs that produce prizes of this size show the excitement Powerball generates, and congratulated the ticket holder.

A second huge win in under three months

The New Jersey win comes less than three months after a ticket in Illinois won a $1.04 billion Powerball jackpot on August 12, 2026. Powerball said the two wins together rank as the eighth and ninth largest prizes in the history of the game. The Illinois prize sits eighth on that list, and the New Jersey prize sits ninth, just ahead of the $842.4 million jackpot won in Michigan on January 1, 2024.

It is also the 13th time a Powerball jackpot has been won in New Jersey, NorthJersey.com reported. For players checking tickets from the same drawing, Powerball said more than 1 million tickets won cash prizes on the night by matching one or more of the winning numbers. Among them, 25 tickets matched four white balls plus the Powerball to win $50,000, and four tickets matched four white balls plus the Powerball with the Power Play option to win $100,000.

The odds of winning the jackpot are 292,201,338 to 1, NorthJersey.com reported.

What happens next

The jackpot now resets to $20 million for the next drawing on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Powerball said the Power Play 10X multiplier will be available for that drawing because the advertised jackpot is below $150 million.

For the Montvale ticket holder, the next steps are not public. Until a claim is announced by the lottery, the story rests on confirmed facts: one ticket, six matched numbers, a Bergen County supermarket, and a $847 million prize that ranks ninth in Powerball history.
