There are no new billionaires in the Garden State today, at least any billionaire Powerball Jackpot winners.

The record $1.537 billion jackpot was won by a single ticketholder, who purchased that ticket at a KC Mart convenience store in Simpsonville, South Carolina, a town of about 18,000 outside Greenville.

The winning numbers were 5, 28, 62, 65 and 70, with a Mega Ball of 5.

There were some winners in New Jersey, though nowhere near the billion-dollar mark. Three winning tickets were sold in Southern Ocean County.

A $50,000 winning ticket was sold at Acme in Beach Haven. Another $50,000 winner was sold at The Keepers at Barnegat Light Corporation.

A winning $10,000 ticket was sold at Circle K in Manahawkin.

Two $1 million winning tickets were sold earlier in this round, one at Stop & Shop in Whiting and the other at CITGO mart in Millstone.
