$10K Winning Lottery Ticket Sold In Morris County

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — Check those tickets because a market in Morris County sold a lottery ticket worth $10,000 last week, New Jersey Lottery officials announced Monday.

Officials said that the winning Quick Draw Progressive ticket, worth $10,000, was sold at Denville Mart, located at 42 East Main Street in Denville, on Sept. 12.

"Quick Draw Progressive tickets are sold at any retailer and offer a fast way for players to see if their ticket is a lucky winner," the NJ Lottery states.

Not familiar with the game? Here’s how it works, lottery officials say:

At the bottom of every Quick Draw ticket are nine “Your Jackpot Numbers,” ranging from 0 to 80. If you match all nine numbers, you win a portion of the progressive jackpot based on your wager. A $1 ticket earns 10 percent of the jackpot, a $2 ticket wins 20 percent, and any ticket valued at $10 or more wins 100 percent of the jackpot.

As of Monday afternoon, the progressive jackpot is valued at $288,593.

The New Jersey Lottery holds Quick Draw drawings every four minutes.
