There were not one, but two big lottery winners in one NJ county recently. Even more interesting is that they happened on back-to-back days with the same game.
Just days after someone won over $429,000 by buying a Jersey Cash 5 lottery ticket in Mays Landing, there's been another big lottery winner in South Jersey.
Officials with the New Jersey Lottery said there were back-to-back Jersey Cash 5 winners just before Christmas -- one in South Jersey and the other in North Jersey.
"During the holiday season and throughout the year, the Lottery is deeply committed to the prevention of underage gambling," New Jersey Lottery Executive Director James A. Carey Jr. said.
