One South Jersey lottery player has hit the jackpot. One lucky ticket matched all five numbers drawn winning the $712,820 Jersey Cash 5 jackpot from the Monday, July 30 drawing, NJ Lottery officials announced on Tuesday.

The winning numbers were: 03, 05, 09, 14 and 30 and the XTRA number was: 04. The ticket was sold at Hanover Mart, 209 Hanover Street in Pemberton, Burlington County.

“We are thrilled that the winning jackpot ticket was sold at Hanover Mart,” Acting Executive Director James Carey said. “The retailer will receive a bonus check for $2,000 for selling the winning ticket. Overnight, they have become one more ‘lucky location’ for the very fortunate lottery winner.”
