An Essex County lottery player struck it big on Friday, winning a $150,000 jackpot in the Jersey Cash 5 drawing.
The winning ticket was purchased at One Stop Super Market in Orange, where the lucky player matched all five numbers: 05, 18, 22, 25, and 27.
The XTRA number drawn was 02, and the Bullseye number was 22.
In recognition of selling the jackpot-winning ticket, One Stop Super Market will receive a $2,000 bonus from the New Jersey Lottery.
Lottery officials encourage players to check their tickets and remind everyone that winning numbers are drawn daily.
