New Jersey resident wins $847 million Powerball jackpot

MONTVALE, N.J. (CNN, KYMA) - Someone in the Garden State may soon be moving to a bigger neighborhood.

A single ticket in New Jersey hit on all winning numbers Wednesday night to win an estimated $847 million Powerball jackpot.

It's the ninth-largest jackpot in game history and second-biggest prize so far this year.

The winning ticket was sold at a Wegmans Grocery Store in Montvale.

The ticket holder has an option to take a one-time payment of $363 million, or an annuity paid over 29 years.

In addition, the store that sold the ticket gets a $30,000 bonus check, with the manager saying the money will go straight into the company's campaign to end hunger and support local food banks.
