Union County lottery ticket hits $263,720 Quick Draw prize at Hillside store

Hillside, NJ — A New Jersey Lottery player in Union County secured a $263,720 payout Wednesday after purchasing a Quick Draw ticket at a local convenience store, capturing a significant portion of the rolling jackpot.

The winning ticket was sold at Two Lucky Convenience Store, located at 154 Hillside Avenue in Hillside, according to lottery officials.

The prize represents 40 percent of the Quick Draw Progressive jackpot, which is currently estimated at more than $396,000.

Officials have not released details about the winner, including whether the prize has been claimed.

Quick Draw Progressive tickets include nine randomly selected numbers printed on each ticket. Players win a share of the jackpot if all nine numbers are drawn during eligible drawings, with the percentage based on the wager amount.

Lottery officials said tickets with higher wagers qualify for larger portions of the jackpot, with $10 per draw tickets eligible for the full prize.

The Hillside win adds to recent lottery payouts across New Jersey as players continue participating in draw-based games.
