Powerball Winning Numbers for May 14, 2016: Where To Watch Live Stream of $50 Million Jackpot Draw
Friday the 13th will now always be a very lucky day for a New Jersey mother who just claimed the $429.6 million Powerball jackpot -- the biggest win ever in New Jersey, on Friday, May 13, 2016.
Thought of as "divine intervention," big winner Pearlie Mae Smith of Trenton, a church pastor, revealed that she "rarely" gambles. She revealed to officials that the winning digits just "popped into her mind," which she later then felt compelled to bet on them at a local 7-Eleven store. Andrea Shinn, who runs the establishment, received a $30,000 for selling the golden ticket, New York Times reports.
The numbers 5, 25, 26, 44, 66 with the red Powerball 9 and multiplier 2 won on May 7. The great news was announced to them by one of Smith's daughters.
