A lucky New Jersey Lottery player is $500,000 richer after purchasing a winning scratch-off ticket at a Wawa in Orange.
Lottery officials announced that one of the top prizes in the new “AC Night$”scratch-off game was claimed after a winning $10 ticket was sold on June 4 at the Wawa located at 164 Main Street in Orange.
The game, which launched on May 27, features three top prizes of $500,000. With one now claimed, two grand prizes remain available to players statewide.
In addition to the remaining top prizes, the game offers a variety of prizes ranging from $20 to $5,000.
Players can win by matching their numbers to the designated winning numbers.
Special symbols can increase winnings, including a “JERSEY” symbol for an automatic win, a “$$” symbol that doubles the prize amount, and a “STACK OF BILLS” symbol in a bonus spot that awards an instant prize.
Lottery officials encourage players to check their tickets carefully, as several large prizes remain unclaimed.
