Winning Instant Lottery Tickets Sold At These New Jersey Stores (MAP)

There are several archetypes of New Jersey Lottery players, officials say.

Some are like North Bergen students 18-year-old Ali Said and 19-year-old Ali Najjar, who flipped a $5 instant scratch off ticket into a $10 ticket… then a $20 prize… and finally a $50,000 winner.

Others are like Kathleen and her husband David, who flipped a $5 ticket purchased on her lunch break at a Quick Chek in Whippany into a $500,000 winner.

Altogether, New Jersey Lottery Instant Games players won more than $98.5 million in prizes in February, officials stated Wednesday.

The top three prizes were sold at the following locations:

• $1.3 million, “Win For Life!” - Lukoil, 2446 Route 22, Union
• $1 million, “$1,000,000 Spectacular” - Quick Food Mart, 250 Route 9, Barnegat
• $1 million, “50X The Cash” - Krauszer’s Food Store, 830 State Road 206, Princeton

But if you’re looking for a lucky store, you might consider picking up a game at the Country Farm at 3335 Adelphia and Wycoff Road in Adelphia, which sold two of the top-ranking tickets for February ($50,000 and $10,000).
