Months Later, Bergen County Couple Claims Jersey Cash 5 Jackpot

North Arlington

Diane and Bill B. from North Arlington in Bergen County had carefully planned their Jersey Cash 5 jackpot claim.

The date of the winning draw was July 6, 2015 and they came to Lottery headquarters more than seven months later.

They were in no rush to file their claim because they wanted to properly plan how they were going to best use the winnings.

Bill has been playing Lottery for years. His favorite games are Jersey Cash 5 and CASH4LIFE.

When he saw that the Jersey Cash 5 jackpot was heading towards the million dollar mark he added an additional $10 worth of Quick Picks to his personal pick numbers purchase. One of the Quick Picks was the winning ticket that won a share of the jackpot.

Diane and Bill B. carefully planned their Jersey Cash 5 jackpot claim. They waited more than seven months to come to Headquarters to present their ticket. The following day, while Diane was in California on business, she received an early morning wake-up call from Bill sharing the news. “It’s always exciting to start the day with some good news,” Diane said.

The happy couple said that they were looking forward to spoiling the grandchildren with some of the winnings.

Five winning tickets split the $909,890 Jersey Cash 5 jackpot from the Monday, July 6, 2015 drawing.  

Each ticket was worth $181,978.  

Diane and Bill’s lucky retailer was Joe’s Liquor & Deli, 320 Belgrove Dr., Kearny in Hudson County.

The other winning tickets were sold in:

Burlington County: One Stop Food Mart, 32 Church Rd., Maple Shade,

Essex County: Crown Liquor, 246 Main St., Orange;

Hudson County: Bayonne News, 566 Ave. C, Bayonne;

Morris County:  7-Eleven #15168 (N), 959 Tabor Rd., Morris Plains.
