Someone in New Jersey just had a seriously lucky moment — and it came from a scratch-off ticket.
A $10 ticket from the “$500,000 Triple Match” game turned into a life-changing win, scoring the final top prize of $500,000. The winning ticket was sold on April 28 at a shop called Cigar at Cibao in Perth Amboy, according to lottery officials.
Here’s what makes this win stand out:
- 💰 $500,000 grand prize claimed
- 🎟️ Only the third — and last — top prize available
- 📍 Ticket purchased in Perth Amboy, New Jersey
This scratch-off game first launched on January 4, 2025, and it didn’t take long for players to grab all the big prizes. The other two top winners had already been claimed at stores in Elizabeth and Eatontown.
Behind the scenes, the lottery printed over 3.6 million tickets, adding up to more than $20.9 million in total prizes.
Now that all top prizes are gone, this game has officially wrapped up its biggest wins — but for one lucky player, it ended in a huge payday.
More lottery updates are likely on the way, so stay tuned.
