TRENTON (Nov. 6, 2017) – Tony Capra of Kenilworth has celebrated smaller Lottery wins over the years, the largest prize was perhaps $50. That all changed when he purchased tickets for the July 6 Jersey Cash 5 game.

Tony brought his tickets to the store and started scanning them. A few non-winners, a few small winners, and then a message popped up: See attendant. Tony quickly and quietly stuffed the ticket into his pocket and left the store, checking the numbers for himself in his truck. He tried to call his wife at work to share the good news, but couldn't reach her.

About fifteen minutes later, when she returned his call, he asked her to make sure her office door was closed. Confused, she did as he asked but was unsure what news would follow. Tony tells her, "We won the Lottery." "What do you mean we won the Lottery?" she asked back. He went on to tell her that they had just won $738,598 on the Jersey Cash 5 jackpot.

When asked what they would do with the prize, they mentioned that paying off recent bills including car loans and a home remodel would be the first priority. After, they will likely take a nice vacation to celebrate. His lucky retailer is Paul & Joe Deli and Liquor, 500 Chandler Ave., Roselle, in Union County.

Janet H. of Somerset traveled to Lottery Headquarters to claim the $1,000,000 prize from the June 20th Mega Millions drawing on behalf of the Fab Four LKDI group. The group is comprised of three siblings and their mom, all of whom have been playing Lottery together for years. The group purchased two tickets with two boards each. Of course, players only need one ticket to win. They are all still considering how they will enjoy their Lottery win.

Congratulations to the Fab Four LKDI group! Their lucky ticket was purchased at The Bagelsmith, 1330 Prince Roger Ave., Bridgewater, in Somerset County.
