Of course, for more than 99% of us here in the Garden State, we never get to experience becoming a millionaire (let alone while waiting in line to pay for Twinkies and Red Bull), but it does happen.

To prove that point, officials with the New Jersey Lottery say 12 people have won $1,000,000 or more over the past 60 days.

For the record: I was not one of those dozen lucky folks...

We'll run through the list of where those lucky tickets were sold in just a second, but even more interesting is the county-by-county breakdown of where the most winning tickets have been sold so far this year.
