This afternoon, the winning $847 million Powerball ticket
was sold at a Wegmans in Montvale.
The New Jersey Lottery confirming the location, but who's the winner?
News 12's Tony Caputo couldn't find them,
but had fun asking what you would do if it was you.
What would you do if you did win?
Oh my gosh, I don't know.
I'd pay off my car, I'd pay off school,
and move on with my life.
She could do a lot more than just move on with life.
Whoever bought the winning Powerball ticket here in New Jersey
is sitting on a jackpot of $847 million.
Somebody matched the winning numbers of 15, 34, 41, 53, and 56
and had a red Powerball of 21.
What would you do if you did win?
I don't know.
You wouldn't be here filling your tire up with air, though, would you?
I may be buying a brother car, that's it, you know.
Would you buy another car? I definitely would. This has had its day.
You're getting your money's worth.
Enjoy.
Yeah.
Where was it sold?
We don't know where it was sold, and we don't know who won yet.
We just know it was sold somewhere here in New Jersey.
Nice. Good for somebody.
That somebody has the option of taking
a little over $363 million in a lump sum payment
or an annuity paid out over 29 years, according to Powerball officials,
who say the odds of winning this jackpot
were estimated at 1 in 292.2 million.
I'd buy a farmhouse with a lot of
acres and get a Highland cow.
A couple of Highland cows and just
have a pond and live my life.
Sounds like she's thought about
winning the lottery a time or two.
