Trenton On Monday, state lottery officials revealed that a Jersey Cash 5 ticket sold in Burlington County had won a $494,401 prize in the drawing that took place on Friday, December 27.
The winning ticket, which was bought at the ShopRite on Route 38 in Hainesport, had an XTRA number of 02 and matched all five numbers: 08, 13, 31, 40, and 43. The drawing’s Bullseye number was 31.
To increase the excitement at the ShopRite location, the lucky merchant who sells the winning ticket will get a $2,000 extra.
This local win serves as a reminder of the modest but potentially transformative wins offered by state lottery games, even if the Mega Millions jackpot made national news with its $1.269 billion award claimed in California.
Since the New Jersey Lottery advises winners to sign their tickets and seek legal and financial advice prior to collecting their reward, the jackpot winner’s identity has not yet been made public.
