A man from New Jersey claims that his family's $175,000 lotto jackpot "came at the perfect time."

Earlier this month, a man from New Jersey who spent $20 on Jersey Cash 5 won more than $175,000; 

two other players also won in the same drawing, resulting in the three winners splitting the $533,055 jackpot. 

Dustin, 34, bought his tickets on Jackpocket's website. He disclosed to the lotto officials 

that he often plays his favorite game, Jersey Cash 5. At 5 a.m., he learned that he had won the jackpot.

"I was stunned. He said to Jackpocket, "I thought I was dreaming. "I've had lottery 

Dreams before, so I thought, 'This can't be real.'" It took some time for it to click.

He talked about how his recent success arrived just when he needed it after going through some difficult times.

Dustin declared, "We're going to pay off debt. "This arrived just in time. 

I've had debt ever since I was 18 years old. We want to get a big full-size car so that everyone can fit in it. 

I currently drive a little truck, and with two kids, they hardly fit in the backseat.
