New Jersey Couple Collects $3 Million Scratch-Off Win Months After $1 Million Prize

Lottery officials put the combined odds of both wins at roughly 1 in two trillion.

  • The latest winning ticket was a Jackpot Millions scratch-off bought at the Fischer Bay Exxon at 826 Fischer Boulevard in Toms River, Ocean County.
  • The couple previously claimed $1 million earlier this year from a $1,000,000 Ultimate Spectacular ticket.
  • New Jersey Lottery Director James Carey called the back-to-back wins "pure blind luck."
  • Officials confirmed the $3 million prize was collected on Nov. 17 after the ticket was purchased among several games the couple bought together.
  • The winners said they play scratch-offs as a monthly at-home pastime and plan to use the money to support their growing family.
