BREAKING: A New Jersey couple has just won a staggering $3 million in a scratch-off lottery game, marking their second major victory this year. The couple, who are parents to two young children and expecting a third, purchased the winning ticket at the Fischer Bay Exxon station located at 826 Fischer Boulevard in Toms River, Ocean County.
This remarkable win comes just months after they celebrated a $1 million jackpot from the “$1,000,000 Ultimate Spectacular” in April 2023. According to the New Jersey Lottery, the odds of winning both prizes are approximately 1 in 2 trillion. To put this in perspective, a player is 1.2 million times more likely to be struck by a meteorite than achieve this incredible feat.
The couple, who enjoy scratching off lottery tickets together during their downtime, shared their excitement about their wins. The husband stated, “With our kids, we can’t really get out of the house. So at the beginning of the month, we get some tickets. When the kids go to bed, we scratch a few off. We like to make it a bit of a competition—who can win the most. It seems we at least always break even.”
The couple’s joy is palpable, especially as the wife is currently five months pregnant. Reflecting on their first big win, she remarked, “Maybe we celebrated a bit too much,” as she gently patted her belly. The wins have certainly brought a wave of happiness to their family.
James Carey, Director of the New Jersey Lottery, commented on the extraordinary luck of the couple, saying, “I’ve always said that you only need one ticket to win big. But I guess, in this case, two tickets certainly didn’t hurt! This is just pure blind luck.”
As word spreads about this extraordinary win, many are left wondering what the couple’s next steps will be. With their newfound wealth, they may explore options for securing their family’s future or treating themselves to something special.
Stay tuned for more updates on this incredible story that has captivated the New Jersey community. This couple’s luck has not only changed their lives but also serves as a reminder of the excitement that comes with playing the lottery.
