No one hit the main jackpot for Wednesday night's Powerball drawing, but a ticket purchased in Keansburg, at Main Street Deli & Grocery, was good for $50,000.

According to the New Jersey Lottery, the Monmouth County player hit the Double Play portion of the game, which offers players an additional drawing.

The winning ticket matched four of the five white balls drawn, along with the Power Ball.

The estimated Powerball jackpot right now is $133 million. The next drawing is Saturday night. The Cash 5 jackpot has been reset to $150,000 for Thursday night.
