LONG BRANCH, NJ — A lottery player in Monmouth County won a $1 million scratch-off prize.

The ticket was sold last week at Fine Fare Supermarket on Third Avenue in Long Branch, and a local resident purchased the ticket for just $10.

They won the one-million scratch off prize Nov. 3. “It’s surreal,” said the winner, who was not identified by the NJ state Lottery. “I must’ve looked at the card 20 times. I really tried to hide my reaction.”
