Lottery players across New Jersey claimed more than $1.3 million in prizes over a four-day span, with winning tickets sold from Atlantic City to Bergen County, according to newly released state lottery data.
Trenton, NJ – A series of lottery drawings between Monday and Thursday produced multiple high-value winners across the state, including a $463,874 Jersey Cash 5 ticket and a $400,000 Crossword Bonanza prize. The wins were spread across at least eight municipalities, reflecting a surge in midweek payouts from both draw games and scratch-off tickets.
The largest single prize during the period came from the Jersey Cash 5 drawing on Wednesday, totaling $463,874. The winning ticket was sold through Jackpocket, a courier service, with no retailer location listed. Just one day later, a $400,000 Crossword Bonanza ticket was sold at Garden State News on Broadway in Bayonne, marking the second-largest payout in the reporting window.
