$5 Million Scratch-Off Winner In Union County

UNION COUNTY, NJ — One lucky Union County player won a $5 million scratch-off prize last week.

The player won the $5 million Fortune, the biggest prize in the Lottery’s Scratch-Off stable, according to the NJ Lottery.

The $30 ticket was purchased at 7-Eleven, 1171 Liberty Avenue, Hillside.

"I didn’t think I won anything," the player said. "I checked it on a scanner and it said 'jackpot.' I go home and I looked again. So many zeroes. It’s just such a blessing."
