La directrice adjointe du magasin, Nick Tassi, a annoncé jeudi qu'elle allait reverser l'intégralité de la somme au Community Food Bank of New Jersey.

“We are currently in the middle of the Check Out Hunger campaign and we are going to donate the amount directly to this campaign,” Mr. Tassi said, according to ABC7 New York.

L'employée du magasin Sarah Mitchell, qui a trouvé le billet dans les caisses, s'est confiée à FOX 5 New York : « Je ne dormais pas ce soir-là. C'était une expérience incroyable. »

Le gagnant n'a toujours pas été identifié. La commission des loteries de Nouvelle-Jérise organise une conférence de presse jeudi à 13h30 pour lever le voile sur cette affaire. Le tirage suivant est prévu le 29 juin prochain.
