Mega Millions Ticket Worth $1 Million Sold In New Jersey
What a wonderful time it is to be a lottery player. For what feels like the second time in the last few months, the Mega Millions Jackpot has become astronomically high, reaching a projected $1.35 billion for the drawing this Friday, January 13th.
While no one was lucky enough to claim the jackpot on Tuesday, 16 lucky players were gifted with a second-place prize of $1 million. One of those players purchased their ticket in New Jersey, which has one of the largest state lotteries in the country.
Those 16 lucky second-place winners had a 1 in 12,697,306 chance at matching the first five numbers. Matching that Mega Ball and winning the jackpot, though, is a tricky one. That bumps the odds up to 1 in 302,575,350.
If those odds are a bit too crazy for you, don’t worry–you can check out this list of the best New Jersey Online Casinos and find one that best suits your needs.
Good luck, and remember to always bet responsibly.
