New Jersey Player Wins $600K Jackpot from $30 Scratch-Off Ticket
A lucky New Jersey resident has claimed a $600,000 jackpot from a scratch-off lottery game. The win came from a $30 Colossal Crossword ticket bought at a local shop in Rutherford. Officials announced the news on Monday, September 29. The winning ticket was purchased on September 22 at the Manor Sweet Shoppe on Jackson Avenue. This marked the third and final grand prize for the Colossal Crossword game, which launched in April this year.
The game offered smaller prizes from $50 up to $25,000, alongside three top payouts of $600,000 each. The fixed jackpot was claimed last week, bringing the game's grand prize draws to a close. The win confirms the end of the Colossal Crossword's grand prize opportunities in New Jersey. The lottery had originally introduced the game with three top-tier payouts, all now awarded. No further details about additional large prizes have been released.
