A lucky lottery player in Gloucester County is celebrating a life-changing win after purchasing a Fast Play ticket worth $735,065, according to New Jersey Lottery officials.
The winning “$10 Fat Wallet” ticket was sold on May 31 at the ShopRite supermarket located on Bridgeton Pike in Mullica Hill.
The popular Fast Play game costs $10 per ticket and features a progressive jackpot that begins at $50,000 and continues to grow until a winning ticket is sold.
Unlike traditional scratch-off tickets, Fast Play tickets are printed on demand at lottery terminals and provide instant results without a scheduled drawing.
Players win in the “$10 Fat Wallet” game by matching their numbers to the designated winning numbers.
Those who successfully match all three numbers are awarded the game’s special “Fatter Wallet Bonus.”
New Jersey Lottery officials said jackpot winners receive 100 percent of the progressive jackpot amount available at the time of purchase.
Following the winning ticket sale, the progressive jackpot was reset and stood at an estimated $59,396 as of Friday, June 5.
