New Jersey
How lucky are New Jersey residents playing Powerball?
It’s St. Patrick’s Day – does New Jersey feel lucky?
New Jersey joins most other states in offering Powerball, which awards staggering sums several times a year to one (or more) lucky Americans. So how does New Jersey rank in terms of most luck winning the Powerball?
In Powerball, which is available in 45 states and the District of Columbia, players choose five numbers between 1 and 69, then a Powerball between 1 and 26.
Top 5 states for Powerball winners
| Rank | State | Jackpot winners since 2010 |
| 1 | Florida | 14 |
| 2 | California | 14 |
| 3 | New York | 13 |
| 4 | New Jersey | 11 |
| 5 | Tennessee | 7 |
Since 2010, the states with the most Powerball winners have been Florida and California, with 14 winners apiece. Those two states are followed by New Jersey (11 winners) and Tennessee (seven).

Whoever pulls the next Powerball jackpot (meaning they hit all five numbers plus the Powerball) will take home a jackpot of at least $600 million. Nobody has won the big prize since Jan. 1, when an anonymous player in Michigan hit a jackpot worth $842.4 million if taken in annuity payments (or $425 million and change in cash up front).

GLADSTONE, N.J. — A small earthquake was recorded in New Jersey on Saturday, but it likely was not felt by many, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The magnitude 2.9 earthquake was recorded at 9:49 a.m. near Gladstone, Somerset County.
Based on early data on the USGS’s website, the earthquake caused light shaking, but was not strong enough to cause any damage.
A much stronger 4.8 magnitude earthquake shook communities across New York, New Jersey and the Northeast just over three weeks ago on April 5.
It was centered in Readington Township, New Jersey, which is only about 15 miles southeast of Gladstone, and was one of the strongest East Coast earthquakes in a century.
The earthquake led to dozens of aftershocks over the following week.
So far, there has been no information linking Saturday’s earthquake to the one on April 5.
Earthquakes are rare in the New York-New Jersey area, but there are several small fault lines under Manhattan and a major fault in New Jersey, called the Ramapo Fault.
This is a developing story. Check for updates.
CLIFTON, NJ — Korey Cunningham, an offensive lineman who played for three NFL teams during a five-year career, has died. He was 28.
Police said Cunningham was found dead Thursday in his Clifton, New Jersey, home. Officers had gone to the home after a family member reported they could not contact Cunningham.
The cause of death remains under investigation. Police said there was no evidence of foul play.
Cunningham, who played at the University of Cincinnati, was a seventh-round draft pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 2018. After one season in Arizona, he then spent parts of two seasons with the New England Patriots.
He joined the New York Giants in 2021, and was with the team for two years.
Cunningham did not play in the NFL in 2023.
