He or she may be a runner-up, but someone in New Jersey bought a $ 1 million Mega Millions lottery ticket.
One of five winners of the second prize in the $ 520 million blockbuster lottery on Friday, the lucky customer bought the ticket at Masso’s Deli & Pizzeria in the small town of Gibbsboro in Camden County, lottery officials said.
In doing so, he joined others from Massachusetts, California and Georgia, as well as a winner from New York whose ticket is worth $ 2 million thanks to the 2x Megaplier 2x.
Players had a 1 in 12,607,306 chance to win second prize by hitting five white ball numbers.
The chances of a ticket winning the grand prize by hitting five AND the Mega Ball? 302,575,350 to 1.
Without a jackpot winner, the main prize for Tuesday’s draw will be around $ 600 million, just the fourth time MegaMillions has been so high (the cash option is $ 442.4 million).
Friday’s winning numbers: 3, 6, 16, 18 and 58. The Mega Ball: 11 with the Megaplier 2x.
We may never know the identity of the New Jersey winner under a state law that allows for anonymity.
