Driving through New Jersey was a Profitable Experience for these Two Jersey Cash 5 Ticketholders
TRENTON (Sept. 14, 2017) – Darius A. of Mamaroneck, New York and his family often drive to New Jersey to play the Jersey Cash 5 game because they love the odds and the prizes. After one such purchase, Darius checked his hand-picked numbers online the night of the April 20 Jersey Cash 5 drawing. He knew right away that he had won something as he recognized the numbers. After a careful review, he confirmed that he in fact, had all five of the numbers drawn. His ticket was one of two sold that matched the numbers drawn that evening splitting the $75,428 jackpot.
With the $37,714 prize, Darius said he will allocate some of his winnings towards bills and some to his parents so that they can take a trip to Las Vegas. His lucky retailer is HMS-Montvale at Mile Post 172 of the Garden State Parkway, Montvale in Bergen County.

Carrie Collura is a financial analyst from Brooklyn, New York. She and her husband Michael were driving through New Jersey on a return trip from vacationing in Maryland. During their rest stop in Salem County for gas at John Fenwick Travel Plaza, Mile 5.4 NJTP North, Penns Grove, Carrie went inside to grab some snacks. With her remaining $4, she grabbed a Jersey Cash 5 ticket for the May 7 drawing and some other Lottery games. The next day, Carrie went online to check the numbers and was shocked to see that all five of her numbers matched the numbers drawn. However, because she was not familiar with NJ Lottery games, she had no idea how much she had won. After checking NJLottery.com and a phone call to NJ Lottery HQ, she learned that she was now holding a $618,339 jackpot ticket! She hid the ticket in a safe place until she and her husband could make the drive back down to Lottery HQ in Lawrenceville, NJ to claim the ticket.
When asked if they had any plans for the prize money yet, Carrie said the first thing they will do is enjoy an extravagant lunch. The rest is going to savings in preparation for their children’s future college expenses.
