TRENTON (May 25, 2023) – The winner of the April 20, 2023, Jersey Cash 5 $1,405,135 jackpot visited NJ Lottery Headquarters today to claim their prize. This lucky player typically only plays NJ Lottery draw games when the jackpot is $1,000,000 or more. When passing the Krauszer’s at 127 Park Avenue in Park Ridge, Bergen County and seeing the sign indicating that the jackpot was estimated at $1.4 million, they made the easy decision to stop and buy a ticket to get in the game.

The next day, that same sign at the Park Ridge Krauszer’s indicated the jackpot had reset and the player knew that someone had won. With this information, it was time to check the ticket. Pulling into a Dunkin’ and ordering a cup of coffee provided a good chance to open the Lottery app and check the numbers. The numbers matched, making this player a millionaire! After signing the back of the ticket, the player took a selfie with the ticket in hand as further proof of the win.

This player who always had a sense of luck knew that one day they might just win the lottery – and this was that day! As we always say – Anything can happen in Jersey.
