Double the joy! Two New Jersey Lottery players bring home big wins

New Jersey Lottery players, get ready to celebrate! We've got stories of two lucky winners who recently struck gold with the New Jersey Lottery.

One lucky ticket holder won a massive jackpot, while another turned a simple scratch-off into a windfall thanks to a unique live event experience.

Jersey Cash 5 Winner in Essex County

A single ticket matched all five numbers drawn in the Monday, April 29th Jersey Cash 5 drawing, winning a whopping $617,241 jackpot. The winning numbers were 11, 18, 20, 25, and 36, with an XTRA number of 03.

The winning ticket was sold at White Oak Liquors on 418 Union Ave. in Belleville, Essex County. Congratulations to the winner. A special shoutout goes to the retailer, who will receive a $2,000 bonus commission for selling the winning ticket.

The New Jersey Lottery Executive Director James Carey said:

"Congratulations to our very fortunate Jersey Cash 5 winner. We hope this incredible prize brings joy and happiness to the winner; we're already looking forward to awarding another jackpot prize soon!"

Bigger Spin Scratch-Off turns $10 into $75,000!

The $10 Bigger Spin Scratch-Off ticket continues to be a game-changer for New Jersey Lottery players. This time, a lucky winner wasn't just handed a big prize – they were treated to a VIP experience they'll never forget.

The lucky player, who only plays scratch-offs occasionally, bought a Bigger Spin ticket on a whim and ended up with a chance to win big in style.

Imagine this: VIP access to Red Bulls Arena, a visit to the Red Bulls Locker Room to meet the behind-the-scenes crew, and the ultimate moment – spinning the giant Bigger Spin wheel live on the field during halftime.

The excitement was electric as the winner stepped up to the prize wheel, showcasing life-changing sums ranging from $75,000 to $400,000. With every spin, the anticipation grew until finally, with a triumphant click, the wheel landed on $75,000. The crowd erupted in cheers. Congratulations to this lucky individual!

There are still four more "Big Spin Event" prizes and one top prize of $300,000 waiting to be claimed. Will you be the next big winner?

The first Bigger Spin winner

The Bigger Spin Scratch-Off isn't just about instant wins – it can create unforgettable memories, too! Back in June 2023, the first live event winner of the Bigger Spin Scratch-Off walked away with $400,000! The winner planned to use this large prize to invest in a house, save for retirement, and donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
