New Jersey player hits $1 million jackpot in Diamond Dazzler scratch-off
Trenton, NJ — A lucky Gloucester County resident is holding a ticket worth $1 million after hitting the top prize in the New Jersey Lottery’s $100 Million Diamond Dazzler scratch-off game, lottery officials confirmed Tuesday.
The winning ticket — the first of three top prizes in the $20 scratch-off game — was sold at Pantry 1 Foodmart located at 4486 Harding Highway in Newfield. The ticket was purchased on Monday, Sept. 15, and has since been validated by the New Jersey Lottery.
In a separate win, a Middlesex County player took home the third and final $100,000 top prize in the $5 Bingo Times 10 scratch-off game. That ticket was sold at KM Mini Market, 280 Suydam Street in New Brunswick, and was reported to the Lottery on Sunday, Sept. 21.
The Diamond Dazzler and Bingo Times 10 games are part of the New Jersey Lottery’s extensive portfolio of instant win scratch-offs, which regularly generate top-tier prizes for players across the state.
The New Jersey Lottery, established in 1970, has returned nearly $33.7 billion to the state over its history. Proceeds currently support public employee pensions as part of a long-term agreement passed into law in 2017.
