$100K Lottery Ticket Sold In South Jersey As NJ Jackpots Swell

VINELAND, NJ — Although the ballooning jackpots for the Powerball and Mega Million remain up for grabs, a South Jersey lottery player won big last weekend.

A ticket sold at Xpress Mart (1715 E. Wheat Rd., Vineland) generated $100,000 in Saturday's Jersey Cash 5 drawing. The ticket matched all five numbers drawn.

The winning numbers were 01, 06, 13, 18 and 27, with an XTRA number of 02. Xpress Mart will receive $2,000 for selling the winning ticket.

Meanwhile, the combined jackpots of the nation's two biggest lottery games surged to more than $1 billion, with $650 million available for the Powerball and the Mega Millions hitting $480 million.

Mega Millions holds drawings at about 11 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays. Purchase tickets before 10:45 p.m. on those days to qualify.
