Fair Lawn, NJ – A routine lottery purchase in Bergen County turned into a nearly million-dollar windfall after one ticket matched all five numbers in Thursday night’s Jersey Cash 5 drawing.
New Jersey Lottery officials confirmed that a winning Jersey Cash 5 ticket was sold at ShopRite #116, located at 22-00 Maple Avenue in Fair Lawn. The ticket matched all five drawn numbers to claim half of the $1,974,960 jackpot, earning a prize of $987,480.
The winning numbers drawn were 08, 10, 16, 33, and 43. The Bullseye number was 16, and the XTRA was 02. Thursday’s drawing marked the fourth Jersey Cash 5 top prize awarded so far this year.
The Fair Lawn retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. Lottery officials said winners are not identified until prizes are claimed and tickets are validated.
