Someone in New Jersey just won $644,000 — was it you?

I don't know about you, but with the way my luck goes, I get excited when I win $10 or $20 on a scratch-off lottery ticket.

And then it seems like almost every day, you read a story about someone winning a million dollars playing the lottery. As a matter of fact, that happened earlier this week when someone won $1.9 million at a ShopRite store at the Jersey Shore.

Needless to say, one day, I hope to be one of those people.

And not that I'm jealous or anything, but "one of those people" here in the Garden State just won over $644,000 playing the lottery.

No, it was not me. But maybe it was you?

Officials with the New Jersey Lottery said one lucky ticket matched all five numbers drawn for Jersey Cash 5 Wednesday night, July 10th, making that person $644,454 richer.

The winning numbers were 09, 30, 39, 41, and 45; the XTRA number was 03 and the Bullseye number was 45.

That winning ticket was sold at Henry's Liquors on Van Houten Avenue in Clifton, Passaic County. For their efforts, the store will receive a $2,000 bonus.

No one has claimed $1.13 billion

Lottery officials also recently mentioned that the $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpot from Tuesday, March 26th, won by a single ticket sold at ShopRite in Neptune remains unclaimed.

Obviously, one would think that you would immediately claim such a huge amount of money, however, experts say you need to get your financial ducks in a row before claiming a prize of that size.

The New Jersey Lottery recommends that the winner sign that ticket, make copies of it, contact professional legal and financial advisors, and then call (800) 222-0996 to file the claim.

And, yes, lottery winners in the Garden State can remain anonymous.
