The lucky numbers made Christopher $522,909 richer, as the they matched those drawn for a recent Jersey Cash 5 jackpot. 

Those same numbers previously matched four out of five numbers on a different Jersey Cash 5 ticket.

Christopher is putting the money toward a family vacation and his kids' college education.
