TRENTON — Ocean County players claimed two major New Jersey Lottery prizes last week, including a $400,000 Scratch-Off win and a six-figure Fast Play jackpot share, officials said Monday.
A Barnegat player won the $400,000 top prize in the Crossword Bonanza Scratch-Off after purchasing a $20 ticket at Wawa #441 on North Main Street. The winning ticket — the second of three top prizes claimed in the latest version of the game — was reported sold on November 26.
Another Ocean County resident hit for $131,917 in the Fast Play Diamond Spectacular game on November 28. The $5 ticket, sold at Howard Johnson of Windham on Hooper Avenue in Toms River, was worth 50% of the Fast Play Progressive jackpot. The jackpot has since grown to an estimated $158,000.
Fast Play Progressive prizes vary by ticket price, with higher-priced tickets winning a larger share of the jackpot.
