Three New Jersey Lottery players last week won Scratch-Off prizes of at least $1 million each while a fourth grabbed a $600,000 top prize, NJ Lottery officials said. 
According to NJ Lottery officials, a Union County player won the first of three top prizes in the $5,000,000 Fortune, the biggest prize in the Lottery’s Scratch-Off stable.
The $30 ticket was purchased at 7-Eleven #38719, 1171 Liberty Avenue, Hillside, Lottery officials said.
“I didn’t think I won anything,” the player said. “I checked it on a scanner and it said ‘jackpot.’ I go home and I looked again. So many zeroes. It’s just such a blessing.”
NJ Lottery officials stated other notable wins last week:
-June 8: Millionaire Maker: $2 million, Monmouth County. The second of three top prizes for the $25 ticket was purchased at Lakeside Food Store, 41 Main Street, Matawan.
