Gloucester City Lotto Ticket Wins $1.49M Jersey Cash 5

One quick stop at a Gloucester City corner store just turned into a life-changing payday for one local player, who hit a Jersey Cash 5 jackpot worth about $1.49 million.

The winning ticket, which matched all five numbers in Saturday’s Jersey Cash 5 drawing, was sold at Super Lucky 7 Deli & Convenience, a neighborhood shop on Broadway in Gloucester City, according to Daily Voice.

The lucky numbers were 03, 18, 27, 31 and 43. The ticket matched all five to snag the top prize, which Daily Voice reports at roughly $1.49 million, and also confirms the specific retail location that sold the winning slip.

Winning Numbers Confirmed, Bonus Coming For Retailer

State draw listings show the same 03-18-27-31-43 combination for the May 16 Jersey Cash 5 drawing, confirming the local report, according to the official results on Play NJ Lottery.

The New Jersey Lottery has long stated that retailers who sell jackpot-winning tickets receive a $2,000 bonus, per a New Jersey Lottery news release. The agency’s prize-claim guidance also notes that players generally have up to one year from the drawing date to file a claim, according to the New Jersey Lottery.

What Comes Next For The Winner And The Shop

The winner’s name has not been publicly released, and the Lottery still has to validate any claim before cutting a check. In similar cases, the retailer receives its bonus check and usually enjoys a short-lived surge in foot traffic and local buzz as word spreads that a jackpot ticket was sold there.
