ESSEX COUNTY, NJ — A lottery ticket worth nearly $300,000 was recently sold at a store in Cedar Grove, officials say.

The ticket was played at Cedar Grove Wine Cellar on Pompton Avenue.

Not familiar with how the Quick Draw Progressive Jackpot works? Here’s what to know, lottery officials said:

“A set of nine ‘Your Jackpot Numbers’ (01-80) are randomly selected and printed at the bottom of every Quick Draw ticket. If all nine of the player’s numbers are selected in any of the Quick Draw drawings that the ticket is eligible for, the ticket wins a portion of the rolling jackpot based on the amount wagered per draw. A $1 wager per draw ticket wins 10% of the jackpot, a $2 wager per draw ticket wins 20% of the jackpot, and so on. A $10 wager per draw will be eligible to receive 100% of the jackpot.”

The current estimated jackpot is above $678,000, lottery officials reported Monday.
