The $1 million Mega Millions ticket purchased in New Jersey for Friday’s lottery drawing was sold at a gas station in Burlington County.
The winner bought the lucky, second-prize ticket at Horsetrack Gas on Federal Street in Burlington City, New Jersey Lottery officials said Monday. It matched five numbers but not the Mega Ball.
In addition, a third-prize, $10,000 ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven on Chapel Avenue in Cherry Hill. It matched four numbers plus the Mega Ball.
Friday’s winning numbers were: 32, 35, 37, 47, and 55. The Mega Ball drawn was 22 with a Megaplier of 3X.
No one across the country hit the $378 million jackpot, pushing the top prize for Tuesday’s drawing to an estimated $410 million with a cash option of $308.2 million. If someone wins, it would the 11th-largest Mega Millions prize and the 27th-largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history.
Second prize tickets were also sold in Connecticut and Florida.
Mega Millions tickets cost $2 each and in New Jersey must be bought by 10:45 p.m. on the evening of the drawing. The odds of a ticket hitting the jackpot by matching five numbers and the Mega Ball are 302,575,350 to 1. Players have a 1 in 12,607,306 shot to win the second prize of at least $1 million by matching five numbers.
The New Jersey Lottery office in Lawrence remains closed due to COVID-19 and won’t be accepting walk-in claims. You can still claim your winnings — provided they’re less than $599.50 — in person at any retailer.
The lottery is also accepting mailed claims, though officials warn payments might be temporarily delayed. Winners are advised to make copies of the claim form and the winning ticket for their records.
The date for all claims set to expire after March 19 has been extended for an additional 30 days from the date of the office opening. For example, a winning ticket that was purchased on March 31, 2019 would normally expire a year later — on March 31, 2020. Due to the extension, the claim in this example will not expire until June 29, 2020. The expiration date of winning tickets might later be extended again.
