Pennsylvania and New Jersey lottery players have won a lot of loot lately.
The newest windfall near Philly was $296,675 won in Magnolia, Camden County, in Saturday's Jersey Cash 5 drawing. The ticket, purchased at the One Stop Shoppe on Atlantic Avenue, matched all the numbers: 27, 32, 34, 39 and 40.
Winning the same amount - half of the $593,350 jackpot - was a ticket bought at Corrado Wine & Liquor, Main Avenue, in Clifton in North Jersey.
Central Jersey's Monmouth County scored in Monday's Cash 5 drawing, as all the numbers - 4, 16, 23, 26, and 39 - were matched by a ticket sold at Metro Foods, Thoreau Drive, in Freehold. The jackpot was worth $151,983.
South Jersey also hit last Wednesday, when Powerball produced a $1 million winner in Marlton, Burlington County. The ticket, purchased at an East Main Street 7-Eleven, matched the first five numbers drawn - 6, 27, 46, 51 and 56 - but not the Powerball of 21.
A Berks County ticket also scored $1 million. It was purchased at Andre Farms on Philadelphia Avenue in Oley.
The $337 million jackpot was won by a single ticket sold in Michigan.
Last Tuesday, a Pennsylvania Cash 5 jackpot worth $496,000 was hit by a single ticket sold at Hess Express on Chestnut Street in Emmaus, Lehigh County. All the numbers were matched: 5, 7, 23, 35 and 43.
