TRENTON, NJ – In a stroke of luck, Brian Kohler from Trenton becomes the inaugural winner of New Jersey’s most savory Scratch-Off, “The Jersey Debate.” Celebrating his birthday at the lottery headquarters, Brian’s life took an unexpected turn.
On his way to work, Brian casually purchased the ticket, not suspecting it would be life-changing. With anticipation, he scratched the card, and to his astonishment, the NJ lottery app revealed that he had won a staggering $200,000! Excitedly, he called his wife, who initially thought he was teasing her until she realized it was genuine good news. Overwhelmed with joy, Brian decided to start by replacing his trusty 23-year-old Chevrolet Suburban with a newer model. Following that, he intends to secure his family’s future and invest in a comfortable retirement.
With this victory, Brian holds the distinction of being the very first person to claim the top prize of the “The Jersey Debate,” a delightful $5 name-that-breakfast-meat Scratch-Off. As of now, two more lucky tickets boasting the same $200,000 jackpot are yet to be discovered.
