One winning Powerball ticket sold in New Jersey

There was a winner in Saturday night's Powerball drawing, but not in the First State.

One winning ticket - sold in New Jersey - matched the numbers drawn Saturday - 5, 25, 26, 44, 66 and the Powerball 9

That one winner will take home just under $430 million dollars or a one-time lump sum payment of just over $270 million.

That’s the 8th biggest jackpot ever in North America.

Delaware has not had a Powerball winner since May 2013 when an anonymous ticketholder split a $50 million jackpot.

The odds of matching all six Powerball numbers are 1 in 292.2 million.  

Powerball is played in 44 states, including Delaware - as well as the District of Columbia, U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
