4 NJ Lottery Winners Bought Tickets On Same Lucky Hudson County Street

HUDSON COUNTY, NJ — After someone won a $90 million jackpot Tuesday with a lottery ticket bought in Hudson County, the NJ Lottery noted that several other winners had bought their tickets on the same street.

A player who bought a Mega Millions ticket in the Hudson County town of Union City matched six numbers on Tuesday night to take home the jackpot.

The ticket was purchased at Garden State News, on 4024 Bergenline Ave. in Union City.

"The Bergenline," as some affectionately call it, runs through the three most densely populated cities in the country, which have among the highest populations of Cuban immigrants. Two of the towns are also considered among the poorest in the state.

According to NJ Lottery, which held a press conference at the shop on Tuesday, nine lottery players have won prizes this year in Union City.

Of those nine, four bought tickets in shops on Bergenline Avenue, which runs through Union City, West New York, North Bergen, and Guttenberg. Besides the jackpot, those prizes ranged from $10,000 to $260,000, said a spokesperson.

The winning numbers on Tuesday were 17, 25, 26, 53 and 60. The gold Mega Ball was 16.

Garden State News will receive a $30,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket, said lottery spokesperson Michael Boone on Wednesday.

“I just found out this morning at 6:30 that we had a winner,” said Krish Patel, the store owner since 2014, at a lottery press conference on Wednesday. “It’s great for the player, for us and the community."

The NJ lottery has not revealed information about the winner yet.

“I’m so happy for Union City and Bergenline,” said Union City Council member Maryuri Martinetti, who attended the news conference with fellow council member Celin Valdivia. They noted that former State Sen. and Union City Mayor William Musto was one of the New Jersey Lottery's founders.

"Hudson County has had more than 50 winners of prizes of at least $10K" in 2025, said Boone. "So that means the Bergenline street in Union City accounts for nearly 20 percent."

How did one street get so lucky?

"You can safely credit that to population density along with blind luck," Boone told Patch. "Also, keep in mind that while this is one (very long) street, all the retailers are unique, except for the 7-Eleven, which has had two."
