Lottery Fever; A One Million Dollar Winning Lottery Ticket Was Sold In New Jersey
What would you do if you won the lottery?
Would you buy a mansion? A Boat? Would you set up your friends and family with beach houses and vacation homes?
The possibilities are endless.
My answer is always super boring; I'd pay off my remaining student debt, pay of my mortgage, buy an investment property, and then load up my stock portfolio.
I'd even keep doing my job at 105.7 The Hawk hosting the afternoon show because why not?
Jersey seems to be a pretty lucky area when it comes to the lottery, we've had a lot of winners in the past few months.

New Jersey Is Home To Another Lottery Millionaire
Over the summer, 4 people won some major prizes from the lottery, more on that here.
Someone else in Jersey won four million dollars too, that lucky bugger.
And now it looks like another Jersey lottery player won one million dollars.
According to NJ.com, this was the only person playing the Powerball in the country this week who matched all five numbers.
IF you match all five numbers but don't get the Powerball, you win the runner up prize of one million dollars, that's a pretty good second place prize!
The NJ Lottery is still keeping the location of where the million-dollar ticket was sold a secret, but if you were playing the Powerball this week the winning numbers were 1, 11, 22, 47, and 68. The Powerball drawn was 7 with a Power Play of 4X according to NJ.com.
There was no winner for the big Powerball prize of 176 Million dollars, so now that jackpot is raised to 195 Million dollars for the next drawing.
If you do win the Powerball, here's what experts say you should do first.
