PLAYER STORIES

"You have to play to win and this is true when it comes to lottery! I never expected when I submitted the Scratch-Off tickets for Million Dollar Replay that I would get picked twice.I've been able to win Pick-3 for seeing a number in a dream and won..You can't win if you don't play. It's the greatest joy when you see your numbers come out!"

"I play Jersey Cash 5 consistently. I walked into a store, checked my ticket, and won $238,000!! I went on a cruise and invested the rest."
- Donna

"In 2009, I won the NJ Raffle for $25,000. My parents bought me the ticket at Pompei Deli in South Hackensack, NJ and put it in my Christmas stocking. To my surprise when I had the store scan it to see if it was a winner it said FILE A CLAIM!! I have a picture of the winning ticket!!"
- Kellie

"I hit on Jersey Cash 5. December 14, 2008, the numbers were 13-12-11-2-16. Believe it or not I played those numbers from what I was cooking for dinner. I use the first letter from everything I cooked which was: Meat Loaf =13, 12; Potato=16; Broccoli=2 and Kool-aid=11. That is what the alphabet give for the numbers I use!! What a Great Day for me."
- Harriet

"On a Sunday in July 2016, I played 378 like 25 times straight. Somehow I had a good feeling about the number that day. I remember going to the movies and after we got out of the movies I checked my numbers for midday. When I saw the winning number I was in shock because I had played 25 times straight. My wife looked at me and she saw I was pale. She asked what happened, is something wrong? I just won almost $7,000!"
- Heriberto

"I saw the new Super 50 tickets on display in my local Shop Rite so I purchased 5 just on a whim. Well I hit $40.00 on one and $500.00 on another. I'm loving this new game with so many games on one ticket!"

"In 2009 I played the Mega Millions game and had 5 numbers, 1 number away from over $200 million, that number haunts me every day. I am Thankful for the $10,000 I did win!"

"On Monday, Feb. 10 I was out eating with my wife at a favorite Tavern/Eatery & decided to play Cash Pop - $5.00, 4 games. The amount printed on my ticket was $1,250.00, & I thought there was no way this would ever come out, but to my absolute surprise the number hit on the 1st play- Wow, what a surprise & night! Made everything taste so much better!"
- Walt

"I played my cruise room number in the Pick-4 for a week and sure enough, the last draw I had bought the ticket for, it came out straight and box! Pretty good graduation self-present if you ask me!"
- Joshua

"In 2015, I was returning from my vacation in the Domincan Republic. That morning I left my room (#824), and headed to the airport. Upon arriving there I realized my flight number was flight 824, from Puerto Plata, to Newark, NJ. Immediately, being a Lottery guy, I knew once I landed in NJ I had to play me some Pick-3. And that I did, and you guessed it, 20x, I hit straight! Over $6k. Best hit ever!"
- Dennis

"Started playing the lottery when the entry form was two sheets of paper with a sheet of carbon paper between them; you got to keep the carbon copy. Won $1,000 second prize in the NJ Lottery in 1995 which I used half of to buy two (2) $250 tickets to game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals, and with my son, was there to see the Devils win their first Stanley Cup.."

“I have been playing NJ Lottery for 20+ years. The most I ever won was $600. from a $5.00 wager on Jersey Cash 5. Not bad. I look forward to New games and always looking for the different kind."

“Didn’t win millions, but one day my truck broke down, I just paid bills, and I was broke. My bf and I got a $20 scratchy, and we won $1,000 bucks! I was able to get my truck fixed! That day was like winning a million for me!"
- Nadina

“In January 1982, I won $100k in a Pick-6 bonus draw at the Meadowlands. It changed my life at that time. It would be great to win again!
PS. Hela announced me as the winner."

“At the time I was out on worker's comp. I bought six $10 Scratch-Off tickets. I told my mom to pick two, I took two and I gave my brother the remaining two. As I was scratching, each game gave me a 2X, 3X, 5X, etc....each amount was $200, and they totaled $10000!!! I was shaking so bad that I thought I was having an attack!!! Came at the right time when cash was tight!!!"
