Ocean County was lucky last week, but not quite as lucky as Monmouth County. Both had big New Jersey Lottery winners.
A Winter Green ticket, sold at the Red Bank Mart in Red Bank, won $500,000 on Nov. 19. That was one of two winning tickets sold in Monmouth County. The other, a $10,000 Loaded ticket worth $10,000, was sold Nov. 22 at Shoprite in Shrewsbury.
There were also two winners in Ocean. A Powerball ticket hit for $150,000 after it was sold at HC Good Neighbor Pharmacy in Toms River on Nov. 18. The other, a $10,000 Loaded ticket, was sold at Country Farm in Whiting on Nov. 22.
Overall, there were 12 people who won at least $10,000.
