One lucky New Jerseyan just won over a million dollars playing the lottery online.
A person using the third-party lottery app Jackpocket matched all five numbers in Wednesday night's Jersey Cash 5 drawing to win the $1,121,336 jackpot, the New Jersey Lottery announced Thursday morning.
"Congratulations to our very fortunate Jersey Cash 5 winner! We hope this incredible prize brings joy and happiness to the winner; we’re already looking forward to awarding another jackpot prize!” said New Jersey Lottery Executive Director James Carey.
