LUMBERTON TWP. -- A winning New Jersey Lottery ticket that matched all the numbers in Saturday's Powerball drawing is now worth $1 million -- but it could have been twice that.

The ticket was purchased at the One Stop Shoppe along Eayrestown Road, in Lumberton. The winning numbers in Saturday's drawing were 11, 23, 42, 52 and 68. The Powerball selected was 6.

State lottery officials said the winning ticket would have been worth $2 million if the purchaser had gone with the Powerplay option.

Millions up for grabs

A third prize-winning ticket that matched four of the white balls and the Powerball was sold at Krauszer's Food Store along Route 130 in North Brunswick. Lottery officials added that the winning ticket was purchased with the Powerplay option -- boosting the value of the ticket from $50,000 to $150,000.

According to lottery Executive Director Carole Hedinger, 25,714 New Jersey players won more than $140,000 in prizes ranging from $4 to $300.

A Powerball jackpot of $116 million will be on the line during Wednesday night's drawing.
