 A 51-year-old customer service representative from Newark recently purchased a $10 CELEBRATING 45 YEARS Instant Game ticket from her local Wawa #868 on Route 4 in Newark. The woman couldn’t believe what she saw after scratching the play area. She had become the game’s first $45,000 top prize winner.

The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said she started playing the Lottery over 30 years ago. She usually purchases multiple tickets at a time and likes to play later in the evenings. The woman was thrilled when the single Instant Game ticket she selected during this particular visit turned out to be a $45,000 winner.

“I’ve won smaller prizes, plus $1,000 and $10,000 playing Instant Games in the past, but never this much. It was such a thrilling surprise,” said the woman. “I called my coworker right away to share the good news.”
