New Jersey Player Wins $1 Million in Scratch-Off Ticket
BREAKING: A player from Ocean County, New Jersey, has just won a staggering $1 million from a scratch-off ticket, according to an urgent announcement from the New Jersey Lottery. This remarkable win follows closely on the heels of another player claiming a $1 million prize from Powerball.
The victorious ticket was purchased from Lucky 7 Deli, located at 408 Route 70 in Lakehurst. The winner secured the top prize from the $1,000,000 Spectacular scratch-off game, which launched on November 5, 2023. Officials confirmed that this was one of the four top prizes available in the game, leaving just three remaining, heightening excitement among players.
The winning ticket was bought just days after the game’s release, specifically on November 17, 2023. Alongside the top prizes, this scratch-off game also offers 32 prizes of $10,000, with only one prize claimed so far, also sold on the same day as the jackpot ticket.
In an interesting twist, just days later, another player in Kearny, Hudson County, won $155,000 from a $5 Emerald 5X ticket, leaving only one of that game’s top prizes unclaimed.
This latest win marks a significant moment for lottery enthusiasts, especially following the recent announcement of a separate $1 million Powerball prize just moments prior. Although this win may not reach the heights of a larger jackpot, it still represents a life-changing sum for the lucky player.
Meanwhile, the latest Friday Mega Millions drawing failed to produce any jackpot winners or seven-figure prizes. However, Hard Rock Tejon Casino has been celebrating, as it awarded over $10 million in jackpots within its first ten days of operation, showcasing the potential for big wins in the region.
As more players flock to these games in hopes of striking it rich, the New Jersey Lottery continues to see a surge in interest. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story and the latest lottery news.
