Newark Store Sells $95K Lottery Ticket, Jackpot Grows To $386K

NEWARK, NJ — A Newark store recently sold a lottery ticket worth more than $95,000, officials say.

A New Jersey Lottery player captured 20 percent of the Quick Draw Progressive – winning $95,050 – with a ticket purchased Saturday at Kalibat’s Smoke Shop on Ferry Street in Newark.

Not familiar with the Quick Draw Progressive game? Here’s how it works, NJ Lottery officials said:

“This rolling jackpot is available to every player at no additional cost. A set of nine 'Your Jackpot Numbers'(01-80) are randomly selected and printed at the bottom of every Quick Draw ticket. If all nine of the player’s numbers are selected in any of the Quick Draw drawings that the ticket is eligible for, the ticket wins a portion of the Progressive Jackpot based on the amount wagered per draw. A $1 wager per draw ticket wins 10% of the jackpot, a $2 wager per draw ticket wins 20% of the jackpot, and so on. Any ticket with $10 wager per draw or higher will be eligible to receive 100% of the jackpot.”

The current estimated jackpot is more than $386,000, officials said Monday.
