The winning numbers were: 05, 12, 26, 42 and 49. Gold Mega Ball: 24. The winning ticket had correctly identified the 5 white balls.

A Powerball drawing from Nov. 28, 2012 had two second place, $1 million winners in New Jersey, according to lottery officials.

One ticket was bought at the Hess Express on Route 4 in Fort Lee, the other was purchased at Park Avenue Grocery in Guttenberg.

The winning numbers were: 05, 16, 22, 23 and 29. The Red Power Ball number was 6. The second prize-winning tickets had correctly identified the 5 white balls.
