Two New Jersey players win $1 million as Lottery releases top prizes from past week

TRENTON, NJ – Two New Jersey Lottery players each won $1 million last week in separate ticket purchases that highlight a week filled with major payouts across the state, according to the Lottery’s latest report released Monday.

The first $1 million prize came from a $1,000,000 Spectacular Scratch-Off ticket purchased on November 17 at Lucky 7 Deli in Lakehurst, Ocean County. The second came just two days later on November 19, when a Powerball ticket sold at 7-Eleven #11430 on Mountain Avenue in Mountainside, Union County, matched five numbers to claim a $1 million prize.

In addition to the two top-tier $1 million wins, New Jersey Lottery players claimed numerous other high-value prizes between November 17 and November 23, including a $450,716 Jersey Cash 5 ticket sold at The Bagel Smith in Belvidere and a $155,000 Emerald 5X Scratch-Off winner purchased at Topshelf Liquor in Kearny.

Two other players scored $50,000 Powerball prizes on November 17—one from Grove News Corner Inc. in Jersey City and another through Jackpocket, the online lottery courier service.

Additional notable wins included multiple Mega Millions prizes of $30,000, and Scratch-Off payouts ranging from $10,000 to $25,000 on games such as Crossword Xtreme, Crossword Bonanza, and $5,000,000 Fortune.

The report includes all New Jersey Lottery draw and Scratch-Off game prizes of $10,000 or more claimed during the week ending Sunday.
