A lucky New Jersey Lottery player is holding a winning ticket worth $100,000 after purchasing a scratch-off game in Union County.
According to information released by the New Jersey Lottery, the winning ticket was from the “Chocolate Cash” scratch-off game and was sold on April 6, 2026.
Lottery officials said the ticket was purchased at a gas station located on Pine Street in Elizabeth.
The retailer, identified as an Amoco station at 232 Third Street, will receive a bonus for selling the winning ticket.
The identity of the winner has not been disclosed, which is standard practice unless the individual chooses to come forward publicly.
“Chocolate Cash” is one of several scratch-off games offered by the New Jersey Lottery, giving players a chance to win instant cash prizes at varying levels.
Officials remind players to sign the back of their tickets and contact the New Jersey Lottery to begin the claims process if they believe they are in possession of a winning ticket.
