So much for rags to riches.
A winning $847 million Powerball ticket was sold in one of New Jersey’s wealthiest towns — where families make more than twice the median American household.
The lucky ticket was sold to a New Jersey resident Wednesday night at a Wegmans Food Market in the tony town of Montvale — where the median household income is more than $178,000, according to US Census Bureau data.
By contrast, the median household income in the US is $87,460.
The ticket matched all six numbers, making it the ninth-largest jackpot in Powerball history, according to lottery officials.
The winner, who has not been identified, can pick between the full $847 million jackpot paid in installments over 29 years or a one-time cash payment of $363.1 million.
The winning numbers were 15, 34, 41, 53, 56 with the red Powerball 21.
It wasn’t immediately clear if the winner was a resident of Montvale.
