New Jersey has seen big lottery wins in 2026, and the records show 2025 wasn't bad for Garden State lottery players either.

New Jersey's Big Recent Lottery Wins

2026 started with a bang for New Jersey lottery players. While most of us were gearing up for a winter storm, one lucky lottery player was living the dream.

The game was Pick 6, and the place was the Shop Rite on Route 9 in Waretown, Ocean County. The ticket purchased there was destined to change a life, according to APP.

That ticket was worth over $12 million. The winner chose the cash value, which was a cool $5,602,036. Not a bad return, right?
