Two New Jersey Lottery Players Score Six-Figure Jackpots

Days after two fortunate lottery players shared a $150,000 Jersey Cash 5 jackpot, an incredibly lucky person from Bergen County, New Jersey, scooped up the whole jackpot from the popular game.

The triumph of the lucky winner came from the game’s drawing on Sunday, July 28. Guessing correctly the winning numbers 4, 7, 8, 14 and 44, along with the XTRA number 3 granted the Jersey Cash 5 player the game’s grand prize, a whopping $295,216.

The jackpot winning ticket was purchased from 7-Eleven #39556 at 100 West Madison Ave. in Dumont, Bergen County. Considering that a player won the jackpot by buying the ticket from this particular retail outlet, they will receive a bonus of $2,000.

The lucky winner is yet to come forward and claim their jackpot prize. Currently, in New Jersey, lottery winners can choose to remain anonymous. This means that the identity of the fortunate player may remain forever a mystery.

The odds of winning the jackpot from the New Jersey Lottery’s Jersey Cash 5 game are 1 in 1,221,759. The overall odds of winning a prize from the popular game are 1 in 25.71, according to the Lottery.

As noted, recently two players in New Jersey split the Jersey Cash 5 $150,000 jackpot. Each of the players received $75,000 and one of the tickets was sold in Hudson County, while the other one was purchased in Passaic County.

Another Fortunate Lottery Player Secures a Six-Figure Jackpot

Besides the lucky winner who recently won nearly $300,000 from Jersey Cash 5, another fortunate player scored a six-figure prize from the New Jersey Lottery. This was the case of a gambler from Middlesex County who purchased a ticket for the $10 Jersey Jackpot Fast Play.

The purchase was made at Stop & Shop #2809 at 647 Route 18 South in East Brunswick. Little did the person expect that they would be the winner of the progressive jackpot from Sunday, July 28. The lucky person, whose identity remains a mystery, secured 100% of the jackpot, taking home $129,652.

Recently, the Mega Millions jackpot survived but three lucky players won $1 million each. One of the fortunate players who banked $1 million from the game’s Friday draw was from New Jersey, while the other one was from Michigan. The third and final win came from California.
