Stormy Night Brings $446K Lottery Luck to Neptune Shopper

NEPTUNE, N.J. — Another big Lottery prize has landed at the ShopRite complex on Route 66, where a player braved stormy weather Tuesday to score the $446,593 Jersey Cash 5 jackpot, officials confirmed.

The winning numbers drawn were 03, 14, 23, 28, and 30, with XTRA 02 and Bullseye 14. The Neptune grocery store, already famous for selling the $1.13 billion Mega Millions ticket in March 2024, continues its streak of hosting major wins.

The ShopRite retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket. This marks the 34th Jersey Cash 5 jackpot claimed this year.

Other retailers across New Jersey have also enjoyed repeat big-ticket wins over the past five years, including ShopRite of Spotswood, White Oak Liquors in Belleville, and 7-Eleven locations in Montvale and Clifton.

Jackpot adds to ShopRite’s growing legacy

The New Jersey Lottery said it partners with more than 6,500 retailers statewide, though few have repeated wins in such a short span.

Players have up to a year to claim their prize, while the jackpot has reset for the next Jersey Cash 5 drawing.

Lottery officials encourage players to sign tickets immediately and review claim instructions.
