Camden County Wawa Store Sells $250,000 Winning Crossword Scratch-Off Ticket
A $10 scratch-off ticket sold at a Wawa store in Camden County has turned into a big win for one lucky player, after it matched a top prize worth $250,000 in the popular “$250,000 Crossword” lottery game.
According to lottery officials, the winning ticket was purchased last week on Thursday from the Wawa located at 421 White Horse Pike South in Lindenwold, New Jersey. The win adds another high-value payout to a game that has already seen multiple top prizes claimed since its launch earlier this year.
The “$250,000 Crossword” scratch-off game, which officially began on February 18, continues to attract steady attention from players across the state due to its relatively high top prize and frequent smaller winnings. While one lucky ticket holder in Lindenwold has now secured a quarter-million-dollar prize, the game still has remaining top rewards available for other players.
Lottery records show that out of the six total $250,000 top prizes offered in this game, two are still unclaimed. In addition to the major prizes, there are also four remaining prizes of $20,000, keeping interest strong among regular scratch-off players hoping for a similar outcome.
Since the launch of the game, winning top-prize tickets have also been sold at several other locations across New Jersey. These include a ShopRite store in Manasquan, as well as liquor stores in East Orange and Little Falls, highlighting how wins are spread across different regions rather than concentrated in one area.
Scratch-off tickets remain one of the most popular forms of lottery gaming in New Jersey due to their instant-result format and affordable entry price. At $10 per ticket, the “$250,000 Crossword” game offers players a chance at life-changing winnings with a relatively small investment, which continues to drive strong sales across retail locations.
For now, the Lindenwold win stands as one of the latest reminders that major lottery prizes can be sold almost anywhere, from large supermarkets to small convenience stores, keeping excitement alive among players statewide.
