Lucky Lottery Player at Wawa in New Jersey Wins Over $124,000

How cool would it be to run into Wawa for a cup of coffee and leave with over $124,000?

That's exactly what happened to one lucky person in New Jersey on Monday.

Not a bad way to start the week, huh?

Officials with the New Jersey Lottery said one lucky ticket matched all five numbers drawn for Jersey Cash 5 Monday night. As a result, someone is now $124,795 richer.

And yes, we did the math -- that'll buy you about 26,000 cups of coffee.

The winning numbers were 17, 18, 41, 43, and 44; the XTRA number was 04.

The winning ticket was sold at Wawa at the intersection of Milltown Road and Ryders Lane in East Brunswick, Middlesex County.

For their efforts, that store will receive a $2,000 bonus.

New Jersey Lottery Executive Director James Carey said in a statement, "We hope this incredible prize brings joy and happiness to the winner; we’re already looking forward to awarding another jackpot prize!"

This big win comes just two days after two people split a jackpot of over $1 million also playing Jersey Cash 5. One of those winning tickets was sold online while the other was from a convenience store in Bergen County.
