About the Game
The $50,000 Jumbo Bucks is a popular scratch-off game offered by the New Jersey Lottery with approximately 7.4 million tickets printed for the current run. Players purchase a $10 ticket and scratch off the coating to reveal if they’ve won any prizes, with the top prize being the $50,000 jackpot claimed by the Cherry Hill winner.
According to the New Jersey Lottery website, the Jumbo Bucks game features multiple prize tiers, though the $50,000 prize represents the game’s maximum payout. The New Jersey Lottery has noted that they reserve the right to introduce additional tickets to the game, though prize levels and winning frequency would remain consistent with the initial ticket release.
Cherry Hill’s Lottery Luck
This isn’t the first time Cherry Hill has seen significant lottery winners in recent months. This latest win follows another substantial lottery prize sold in the township just a few months prior. In December 2024, a $1 million winning scratch-off ticket was sold at Ashland Smoke & Convenience on Burnt Mill Road in Cherry Hill, representing the final top prize in the “$1,000,000 Diamond Spectacular” game.
The township has seen a pattern of lottery luck, with several retailers in the area selling winning tickets. Earlier this spring, a player in Cherry Hill won a substantial $251,037 prize after purchasing a Hockey Bucks Fast Play Progressive ticket at a local 7-Eleven on Chapel Avenue, according to Shore News Network.
Claiming the Prize
While the identity of the $50,000 Jumbo Bucks winner hasn’t been released, lottery officials confirm that winners of prizes this size must claim their winnings directly through the New Jersey Lottery headquarters in Trenton, rather than at the retail location where the ticket was purchased.
Winners have one year from the date of the drawing or game’s end to claim their prizes. For scratch-off games like Jumbo Bucks, this typically means one year from the announced end of the game, though winners are encouraged to claim prizes promptly.
Lottery Impact
The New Jersey Lottery contributes significantly to the state’s economy, with proceeds supporting education and institutions throughout New Jersey. Retailers also benefit from selling winning tickets, often receiving bonuses for selling major prize winners.
The USA Gas station on Route 70 joins other Cherry Hill retailers that have sold significant winning tickets, adding to the township’s reputation for lottery luck. Meanwhile, New Jersey Lottery officials continue to remind players to play responsibly, with resources available for those who may need assistance with gambling-related concerns.
