New Jersey Lottery Winners Celebrate Big Wins Last Week
Last week was full of excitement for lottery players across New Jersey! Between December 15 and December 21, 39 lucky people won $10,000 or more playing Powerball, Mega Millions, and other state lottery games.
The winning tickets came from all corners of the state—from small neighborhood shops to convenient online lottery apps—proving that luck can strike anywhere.
Powerball Steals the Spotlight
Powerball was the game bringing the biggest smiles last week.
-
The top prize went to a $500,000 winner who bought their ticket online through the Jackpocket app in Essex County.
-
Several others took home $200,000 each, with tickets purchased at local gas stations and convenience stores in Parsippany, Rockaway, and Monmouth County.
-
Many more walked away with $50,000 prizes from everyday spots like Wawa, ShopRite, 7-Eleven, Quick Chek, liquor stores, and local food marts.
Whether bought online or in person, these wins show that both digital and in-store tickets can pay off big!
Mega Millions and Jersey Cash 5 Add to the Fun
Powerball wasn’t the only game making headlines.
-
A $20,000 Mega Millions ticket was sold in Little Falls.
-
Jersey Cash 5 created excitement too, with one lucky player winning nearly $475,000 in Manahawkin, and two others taking home over $160,000 each from tickets sold in Flemington and nearby areas.
Even though these aren’t billion-dollar jackpots, they’re still life-changing wins for the lucky players.
Scratch-Offs and Fast Play Games Shine Too
Other New Jersey Lottery games also brought joy last week.
-
Players won between $10,000 and $163,000 from games like Merry Money, Wild Card Poker, Loteria, Crossword, Blue Line Bingo, and Millionaire Maker.
-
These tickets came from small local shops across the state, showing that you don’t need a big store to hit it big.
Don’t Forget to Check Your Tickets
The New Jersey Lottery reminds everyone to double-check their tickets. Many smaller prizes go unclaimed simply because people forget to scan their tickets. Even a smaller win can make a real difference!
With 39 winners in just one week, it’s clear that luck was sprinkled all across New Jersey. Whether you buy your ticket online or grab one at a corner store, a simple ticket can turn into a very happy surprise.
