A Pick-6 lottery ticket worth $5.9 million, sold in Essex County last year, remains unclaimed as the deadline to collect the life-changing prize approaches.
According to the New Jersey Lottery, the jackpot-winning ticket was purchased on May 22, 2025, at the Eisenhower Exxon in Roseland, New Jersey.
Lottery officials said the ticket holder has exactly one year from the date of the drawing to claim the prize, meaning time is quickly running out.
Players are strongly encouraged to double-check any tickets they may still have, especially those purchased around the time of the drawing.
Tickets can be scanned using the official NJ Lottery mobile app or verified manually through the lottery’s online ticket checker.
Officials warn that unclaimed prizes are forfeited after the one-year deadline, making it critical for anyone who may have purchased a ticket in the area to take a second look.
