Oh boy, you'd better check your tickets. There was a $50,000 winning lottery ticket sold in Lawrence Township, according to New Jersey Lottery officials.

The game was Powerball Double Play and it was from the Monday drawing (February 13, 2023).

The winning ticket was purchased at the Lucky 7 Deli & Food Store located at 1938 Princeton Avenue, Lawrence Township in Mercer County (where Route 206 & Princeton Pike meet). Wow. I used to get lottery tickets for my dad there a few times a week. He never won this big, though.
