Officials say a New Jersey woman found a winning lottery ticket worth more than $470,000 while preparing to file her taxes.
The state lottery announced on Thursday that Yokasta Boyer, of Clifton, found the Jersey Cash 5 ticket from an April 2015 drawing and was able to file her claim about two weeks before the ticket expired in April.
Boyer says she had her brother verify the winning numbers after finding the ticket.
Boyer, who has a full-time and part-time job, says she plans to pay off her debts and spend more time with family and friends during the coming Christmas holiday season.
The ticket was bought at the Quick Mart in Clifton.

It is a very sad commentary that we now vote for the least detestable candidate instead of the most qualified. I still love and believe in this country very much, but we need to have a fair system for genuine people to run for major political office without having to be millionaire Lawyers, real estate moguls or professional politicians. There should be no major office in this system without term limits.The supreme court and congress should not be governed until death do us part.
Well said.
Did you read the article above? Or did you just want to rant?
Ms. Boyer will pay a lot more on her next tax statement.
Mike you are so right’,,,,,,!!!!!!!!
