Man on ‘lucky streak’ buys 1 more New Jersey lottery ticket — and sees lots of zeroes
A New Jersey man was feeling lucky when he bought his third winning scratch-off lottery ticket.
Then he won millions.
The man, who has remained anonymous, bought his first $50 winning scratch-off ticket with coffee and a muffin, the New Jersey Lottery said in a March 25 news release.
Then his second lottery purchase won him $100.
After finishing his errands that day, he decided to buy one more scratch-off.
“Why not? I’m on a lucky streak,” he told the state lottery agency.
He stopped by a liquor store in Mount Holly and got his last ticket.
He thought he won $300,000, but when the clerk scanned the ticket it showed a $3 million win. The exact amount the winner took home after taxes was not provided by lottery officials.
