North Wildwood and Freehold Wawa Customers Hit Jackpot

  Two lucky New Jersey Lottery players became millionaires after purchasing winning tickets from Wawa stores, located about 100 miles apart in North Wildwood and Freehold. These winners join over 40 others in the state who have scored prizes of at least $1 million this year, according to the New Jersey Lottery. A South Jersey woman won with a Diamond Spectacular scratch-off in July and plans to buy a beachside home, while a $1.3 million Jersey Cash 5 winner in Freehold remains unclaimed. Both Wawa stores can now add “lucky lottery destination” to their reputation for hoagies, coffee, and snacks, with these life-changing wins reminding customers of the possibilities in every ticket.

The initiative aims to replace a previously dismantled playground, providing a safe, accessible space for residents and visitors of all abilities. Community involvement will play a key role in the application process.
