2 New Jersey supermarket shoppers split $1.1M lottery jackpot

Two people in New Jersey don't have to worry about clipping coupons for the foreseeable future.

That's because they're splitting a lottery jackpot worth more than $1.1 million.

Officials with the New Jersey Lottery said two lucky tickets matched all five Jersey Cash 5 numbers drawn on Monday, March 11th, splitting the $1,108,388 jackpot.

We did the math — each ticket is worth $554,194, before taxes, of course.
