It's been a remarkable week of lottery wins across South Jersey, with multiple tickets worth seven figures sold at local retailers.
The biggest winner came from North Wildwood, where someone purchased a Mega Millions ticket at the ACME on Delaware Avenue that hit for $1 million. Thanks to a 3X multiplier, that prize jumped to $3 million. Whether the lucky winner has stepped forward to collect remains unknown.
In Vineland, a $1,000,000 Spectacular scratch-off winner was purchased at J & J News Agency on North Main Road on July 15. This marks the second significant win at that location in recent weeks—a $10,000 ticket was sold there in June. New Jersey Lottery officials have not confirmed whether anyone has claimed this million-dollar prize yet.
The winning streak didn't stop there. Two additional substantial prizes were claimed elsewhere in the region last week.
On July 15, someone walked away with $50,000 after buying a Powerball ticket at the Villas Fishing Club in Cape May County. The following day, July 16, a Cash Fever scratch-off worth $500,000 was purchased at the Wawa located on Route 72 at Mermaid Drive in Manahawkin.
Combined, these wins represent more than $4.5 million in lottery prizes claimed by South Jersey residents in just a matter of days—a testament to the region's remarkable luck this month.
For those holding tickets purchased at these locations during this timeframe, now would be an excellent time to double-check those numbers. Life-changing money could be sitting in your wallet.
