N.J. Lottery: $1M Winning Cash4Life Ticket Expires Soon, Is It Yours?

HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — A New Jersey lottery player is about to lose out on their chance to become a millionaire. According to NJ Lottery officials, a Cash4Life second-tier prize ticket worth $1 million is due to expire on Feb. 22.

The ticket was purchased at EZ Market & Liquors, 185 Mallory Ave., Jersey City in Hudson County for the Feb. 22, 2016 Cash4Life drawing, lottery officials said.

The winning numbers from the Feb. 22, 2016 drawing were 08, 09, 10, 11, and 27. The Cash ball was 04.

The winning ticket matches all five of the white balls, but not the Cash ball, officials said.

“Anyone holding the winning ticket should immediately sign the back and contact Lottery Headquarters at 609-599-5800, or visit any New Jersey Lottery retailer to validate the ticket,” officials said. “Once validated, the retailer will provide the ticket holder with a confirmation slip that they can bring to Lottery Headquarters during business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.”

The winner must have the ticket present to claim the prize, officials said.
