Bergen County lottery player wins $25K playing NJ Lottery game
A trip to the liquor store brought some post-holiday cheer for someone in North Jersey on Sunday.
A Bergen County lottery player won $25,302 on a $5 ticket playing a Fast Play Progressive jackpot game from the New Jersey Lottery.
The winning ticket, which won 50% of the jackpot, was sold at the Metro Liquor on Broadway in Elmwood Park.
The New Jersey Lottery offers a variety of progressive jackpot games. For some games, a $2 bet could win 20% of the jackpot, a $5 bet would be 50% and $10 would win 100%.
"Fast Play Progressive tickets are sold at any retailer and offer a fast way for players to see if their ticket is a lucky winner," the New Jersey Lottery states.
