FLEMINGTON A New Jersey Lottery winner has been waiting on a $1,000 prize since last year.
Joseph, who asked that his last name not be disclosed, said that in late November he won $1,000 playing the fast-draw Cash Pop at the Flemington Coffee Shop. He said he filled out the claim forms, signed the ticket and mailed it.
He was aware that with the pandemic it could take double the usual time, or up to six weeks, to receive his money. But nearly five months later, Joseph not only hadn’t received his winnings, he also couldn t get through to the Lottery Commission.
