We now know where in New Jersey the only winning Mega Millions ticket from Tuesday night's drawing, worth $1.1 billion, was sold.
Bryanna GallagherThe exact location of where that lucky ticket was sold in New Jersey, hasn't been revealed just yet but someone is waking up a billionaire!The New Jersey Lottery said the purchase was made at ShopRite Liquor at 2200 Route 66 in Neptune Twp., Monmouth County. That's about 40 miles east of the state capital of Trenton.The jackpot is the fifth largest in the multistate game's history.
With an estimated $1.13 billion Mega Millions prize and an estimated $865 million Powerball jackpot, it's the first time the two nearly national lottery games have each grown so large at the same time. "There's always an air of excitement around the country when the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots soar simultaneously," said Gretchen Corbin, president of the Georgia Lottery Corporation and lead director of the Mega Millions Consortium.It's no mystery why months have passed without a jackpot winner - the odds of snagging the big prizes are terrible.
And remember, regardless of how large jackpots grow, the odds of an individual ticket winning never changes.As massive as the jackpots are, winners should brace for much smaller payoffs than the figures advertised on billboards.
