In Jersey, it does seem like the odds of you winning the lottery are higher, and that's only because we see stories all the time of people winning some seriously massive jackpots.

A few months ago, someone scored a massive Billion-dollar jackpot at a Shoprite in Neptune, but that jackpot is still unclaimed!

It's not even Billion Dollar winners that seem to pop up in the Garden State, it seems like more and more often we see winners for a few million here and a few hundred thousand there.

Whether it's from scratch-offs, Cash 5's the Mega Millions, or the Powerball, Jersey seems to be a pretty lucky state.
