2 big New Jersey Lottery winners at Wawa stores, one for $1.3 million

As we all know, this can be a very expensive time of year, especially with Thanksgiving so close to Christmas and Hanukkah.

From November 25th through December 1st, officials say a dozen people won over $20,000 with one person walking away with more than $1.3 million.
