New Jersey lottery player wins $4 million on a scratch-off ticket. Here’s where
A trip to the convenience store turned into a $4 million payday for one lucky Bergen County lottery player.
“We have a NEW MILLIONAIRE in town! A lucky player won a TOP PRIZE of $4,000,000 on a $30 200X Cash Blitz Scratch-Offs!” the New Jersey Lottery posted on Instagram Monday morning.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Krauszer’s on West Main Street in Ramsey.
While claiming the prize, the winner told the New Jersey Lottery: ““My hands are still shaking.”
The winner opted for the cash value of $2,409,200, rather than annuity payments.
“My lifestyle won’t change,” said the lottery player, adding the win does add security to their life.
The 200X Cash Blitz scratch-off game began at the beginning of the August and costs $30 to play. The game offers players a chance at prizes from $50 to $50,000 with three grand prizes of $4 million.
One top prize still remains. The other $4 million ticket was purchased at a Sunoco Foodmart on Chestnut Street in Elmer (Salem County).
