$25.8 Million Winning Lottery Ticket Sold in Ocean County, NJ
That's a lot of pork roll.
Officials with the New Jersey Lottery say a winning Pick-6 ticket worth $25.8 million was just sold in Ocean County.
The game, which has relatively smaller jackpots compared to Powerball and Mega Millions, had not had a winner after 50 drawings, which allowed the purse to climb to over $25 million, its fourth-largest ever.
