Lady Luck has stopped by 7 Days Food Store again. Back in April, one of the store’s customers won $328,462. This time around, one lucky ticket purchased from the North Avenue store matched all five numbers drawn winning the $82,768 Jersey Cash 5 jackpot from the Friday, Dec. 23 drawing. The winning numbers were: 01, 02, 09, 28 and 43 and the XTRA number was: 02. 7 Days will receive a bonus check of $2000 for selling the winning ticket.
New Jersey Lottery’s Executive Director Carole Hedinger announced that there were 283,697 tickets purchased for the drawing. By adding XTRA, for an additional $1.00 per play, winners are able to multiply their non-jackpot prizes by the XTRA number drawn. For correctly matching four of the five numbers drawn, 72 ticket holders won $368 each and 4 others won $736 each with the addition of XTRA. For correctly matching three of the five numbers drawn, 1,831 ticket holders won $14 and 297 others won $28 each with the addition of XTRA. Lastly, 3,557 ticket holders each won $2 for correctly matching two of the five numbers drawn with the addition of XTRA on their purchase.
