Trenton, NJ – A Monmouth County lottery player landed a $500,000 top prize after purchasing a $10 Shore Thing scratch-off ticket at a local store in Tinton Falls.
The winning ticket was sold at Pinebrook Liquor & Deli, located at 1870 Wayside Road. The win marks the second top prize claimed in the Shore Thing game, which offers three top prizes of $500,000. One top prize remains.
