Lucky lottery player in New Jersey just won $4 million — was it you?
Wouldn't it be great to walk around with an extra $4 million in your pocket?
That'll be significantly less after taxes, of course, but still...
Officials with the New Jersey Lottery said there was one second-tier prizewinning Mega Millions ticket sold for the Tuesday, July 23rd, drawing that matched all five white balls, winning $1,000,000. However, that ticket was purchased with the Megaplier option, multiplying the prize to $4 million.
Those winning numbers were 03, 09, 14, 26, and 51; the Gold Mega Ball was 21 and the Megaplier Multiplier was 04.
That winning ticket was sold at Laurel Market on Laurel Ave. in Hazlet Township, Monmouth County.
In addition to that $4 million jackpot, 28 players matched four of the five white balls making each ticket worth $500. Five of those were purchased with the Megaplier option, multiplying the prizes to $2,000.
The Mega Millions jackpot now stands at $331 million for the next drawing on Tuesday, July 30th.
