The ticket was sold on Aug. 14, 2023, and the winning numbers were: 10, 12, 21, 30, 38, and 45.<\/p>\n<p>The largest ticket of the year was sold at Quick Chek #113, a convenience store sandwiched between Route 88 and Herbertsville Road just over the town border in Point Pleasant Borough.<\/p>\n<p>Lottery officials did not name the winner, nor whether the jackpot was paid out.
