Did you hear the big news? Someone in our area is much richer than he was a few days ago.
A lottery ticket, which won $ 3.8 million, was sold at ACME in Yardville (Mercer County), NJ, earlier this week. The New Jersey Lottery announced that the winning ticket was for the Pick-6 drawing last Monday (December 27).
The winning numbers, by the way, were: 09, 17, 19, 24, 42 and 46. The XTRA multiplier was 03, they say.
“We are excited to meet the winner of this $ 3.8 million jackpot and how it will affect his life,” said New Jersey Lottery CEO James Carey in a press release issued earlier this week.
It’s unclear if the winner has come forward to claim their ticket yet. The cash value of the ticket is worth more than $ 3 million, says the lottery.
The winning retailer, by the way, will receive a $ 10,000 bonus for selling the ticket.
In the meantime, if you’re looking to get rich … you might want to try your luck in Saturday’s Powerball lottery drawing. No one has won that jackpot since October, and it is increasing. The New Years drawing is worth an estimated $ 500 million!
Earlier this week, a winning $ 50,000 Powerball ticket was sold at QuickChek on Route 130 in Bordentown (Burlington County) for the Powerball lottery drawing on Wednesday (December 29). That ticket coincided with four of the five white balls and the Powerball, which were raffled that night.
It seems like it’s been a great year for lottery winners in our area. We hope this luck continues in 2022!
