Twelve Millionaires Were Minted Over Previous Three Months

TRENTON (October 7, 2025) – The New Jersey Lottery continued to mint more millionaires in the third quarter of 2025.

In the three-month period beginning July 1 and ending Sept. 30, 12 players won prizes of at least $1 million dollars. For all of 2025, there has been a total of 36 players representing 14 of New Jersey’s 21 counties who won prizes of at least $1 million.

Excitement during the Powerball roll, where the jackpot ran up to nearly $2 billion, played a large part in the winnings as nearly 70 players of the game won prizes of at least $50,000, including five million-dollar winners, in the quarter.

All told for the quarter, the Garden State saw 205 players win prizes of at least $10,000.

That brings the year’s total so far to 612 players. In the first three quarters, winners of at least $10,000 represent all 21 of New Jersey’s counties. Bergen County had the most (86), just ahead of Middlesex (74). Camden (26) and Burlington (19) had the most among the South Jersey counties. See the map and list of winners here.

The number of winners in New Jersey is equivalent to having one $10,000 winner for every 23,000 residents statewide. However, the state's least populated counties have a higher rate of winners compared with the state average. In Warren County, there were 14 winners, which translates to one $10,000 winner for every 8,000 residents. Cape May County had seven winners, equating to one winner per 13,000 residents, and Salem County had five winners, also equating to one winner per 13,000 residents.
