4 Ridiculously Large Lottery Jackpots Won in New Jersey Last Week

If you wanted to hit it big playing the lottery in New Jersey, last week was when you should have bought a ticket.

Normally, we get excited to share the news that one or two people no longer have anything to worry about, financially speaking. Last week, it was four.

According to officials with the New Jersey Lottery, four huge jackpots were hit last week, the smallest of those being $250,000.

It's pretty funny to call a quarter of a million bucks "small," so let's run down some "tiny" jackpots before we get to the bigger winners.
