TRENTON (July 9, 2018) –Cherrilyn D. enjoys playing lottery games but she believes her husband has better luck, so he is tasked with buying their lottery tickets and she has the task of checking the numbers. Cherrilyn’s husband has a system for playing the lottery and picks numbers each week based on the Sunday scriptures. For the drawing on May 4th, he paid $6.00 for two Mega Millions tickets with the Megaplier feature. For one of those tickets he chose to use Chapter 18, Acts 4-12 and played the numbers 04, 05, 10, 12, 18, and 11 as the Mega Ball. So, he did his job and bought the tickets and gave them to Cherrilyn so she could do the number check after the May 4th Mega Millions drawing had taken place. Well, when she checked their numbers against the numbers drawn, her husband’s faith in Scripture and her faith in him paid off. The winning numbers for the Friday, May 4th drawing were: 04, 05, 10, 12 and 18. The Gold Mega Ball was 21, and the Megaplier Multiplier was 04.

They had won the Mega Millions second tier jackpot and of $1,000,000 and because they had the Megaplier feature, it doubled their prize to $4,000,000! Cherrilyn knows she and her husband are lucky and thanks God for her good fortune. They felt blessed even before this Mega Millions win because they have good health and a wonderful family. One of their future plans is to go on a family cruise and enjoy this wonderful “moment in life” with the people they love.

The lucky retailer location where Cherrilyn’s husband purchased the winning ticket is Grab and Go Jersey City, 403 Tonnelle Avenue in Jersey City in Hudson County, NJ.
