NJ player hits six-figure lottery jackpot at Wawa

Gloucester County player hits $142K jackpot with Fast Play ticket bought at Wawa

Trenton, NJ — A lucky lottery player from Gloucester County scored a massive $142,137 win after purchasing a $5 Fast Play Cash Stash ticket that struck gold on Tuesday, claiming half of the state’s progressive jackpot.

The winning ticket was sold at Wawa #486 located at 450 Delsea Drive in Malaga, according to the New Jersey Lottery. The $5 Fast Play ticket qualified the winner for 50% of the jackpot, which had built up through ticket sales across the state.

The Fast Play Progressive jackpot now resets, with the current prize already estimated at over $143,000 and growing.

Fast Play tickets offer instant results, meaning players know right away if they’ve won. Each Fast Play game contributes to the same progressive jackpot, with the payout percentage based on the ticket price. A $5 ticket, like the one used in this win, awards 50% of the total jackpot.

The New Jersey Lottery encourages players to check their tickets, especially as the jackpot continues to rise daily through retail sales. The identity of the winner has not yet been disclosed.
