Long Branch man scores final $1 million prize from NJ Lottery scratch-off
LONG BRANCH, NJ – A Monmouth County resident ended a statewide scratch-off race last week after purchasing the final $1 million top prize in the New Jersey Lottery’s $1,000,000 Spectacular game.
The $10 ticket was sold at Fine Fare Supermarket, located at 320 Third Avenue in Long Branch, and the win was officially reported on Friday.
This prize marks the fourth and final $1 million payout in the now-closed scratch-off game, bringing the game’s jackpot distribution to a close. The winner, whose identity has not been disclosed by lottery officials, secured the life-changing payout by uncovering the grand prize during a routine ticket purchase.
The $1,000,000 Spectacular has been a popular $10 scratch-off game, drawing thousands of players across the state during its run. With all top-tier prizes now claimed, the game will no longer be distributed.
Since launching in 1970, the New Jersey Lottery has contributed approximately $34.7 billion to state programs. Under a 30-year agreement enacted in 2017, current lottery proceeds help fund the public employee pension system.
