Lucky 7s Game Grants Million Dollar Summer Surprise
Scratch-Offs Players Received More Than $101.9 Million in Prizes in June
TRENTON (July 24, 2019) – Joseph M. of Philadelphia is a regular player of New Jersey Lottery Scratch-Offs games. Joe enjoys playing the $10 game tickets, especially Luck 7s, and occasionally will purchase a Jersey Cash 5 ticket if the jackpot is high. Recently, he purchased a $1,000,000 Lucky 7s ticket from his local lottery retailer and scanned the barcode while still in the store. The message on the scanner read, “See clerk.” Joe proceeded to take his ticket to the clerk, who checked the ticket using the Lottery terminal and, then, told Joe he had just won $1 Million. “My knees buckled when I heard the good news,” Joe said, indicating he had only won $1,000 and $2,000 on previous occasions. This was his first big win!
After returning home that day, Joe called some family members to tell them of his good fortune. He was unable to sleep or eat for a few days from all the excitement before bringing his ticket to Lottery Headquarters in Lawrenceville to file his claim. While at Lottery Headquarters, Joe told Lottery officials that he was still in disbelief. Joe will put his winnings into savings and take some of the pressure off plans for retirement.
Joe purchased his lucky winning ticket at Westville Discount Liquor, 500 Gateway Blvd., Westville in Gloucester County.
