14 people just won a combined $2.3 million with NJ Lottery — here’s where

It's been a pretty good month for those buying New Jersey Lottery tickets.

In a recent 10-day period in the middle of this month, 14 people won a combined $2,330,092.

Out of that mountain of money were quite a few people who each won $50,000, one person got over $685,000, and someone else walked away with a million bucks.

And, no, I was not one of those 14 people. I get excited when I win $10 bucks from a scratch-off ticket, let alone hundreds of thousands of dollars... must be nice............ (no, I'm not bitter... well, maybe a little).

Anyway, the recent string of winners were from practically all corners of the state, except deep South Jersey, which seems to be well overdue for a huge jackpot win.

And since Thanksgiving is right around the corner, I did the math: if you won $1 million, after taxes, you could buy about 17,000 frozen turkeys (you're gonna need a lot of gravy).

Here's where you should have bought a lottery ticket recently...
