NJ’s Trenton This summer, while visiting a Jersey Shore Wawa, a devoted New Jersey Scratch-off player bought a $20 Diamond Spectacular ticket, which led to a life-altering $1 million victory.
The winner, who just picked up their prize from the New Jersey Lottery office, said that day they were on a mission and that something told them to get up, get their shoes, and purchase the ticket that attracted their eye. With the game’s top reward, the risk paid off.
The participant explained how they were in utter amazement when they realized they had hit it big after initially mistaking the win for a lesser prize. The athlete recalled how even the store clerk inquired whether medical assistance was required, adding, “I was crying.”
The award, which will be used to buy a modest home close to family and the beach for a more laid-back lifestyle, was earned by the winner after months of preparation. They intend to keep working and playing the lotto in spite of their jackpot.
Over 40 prizes of at least $1 million have been given to New Jersey Lottery players this year, including this $1 million victory. One more Diamond Spectacular top prize is still up for grabs.
