PARK RIDGE, NJ – A lucky winner who won the April 20, 2023, Jersey Cash 5 jackpot worth $1,405,135 has officially claimed their prize at the NJ Lottery Headquarters.

The player, who typically participates in NJ Lottery draw games only when the jackpot reaches $1,000,000 or more, made a spur-of-the-moment decision to purchase a ticket after spotting a sign at Krauszer’s on 127 Park Avenue in Park Ridge, Bergen County.

The sign indicated an estimated jackpot of $1.4 million, prompting the player to seize the opportunity and join the game.

The following day, upon noticing that the sign at the Park Ridge Krauszer’s had reset, indicating that someone had won, the lucky individual knew it was time to check their ticket. Taking a moment at a nearby Dunkin’ to enjoy a cup of coffee, the player opened the Lottery app and compared the numbers. To their amazement, the numbers matched, instantly turning this player into a millionaire.


Eager to secure their win, they promptly signed the back of the ticket and even took a selfie holding it as additional proof of their life-changing victory.
