UPDATES: The Mega Millions jackpot have grown to $510 million Thursday after no ticket matched all six numbers on Tuesday — its eighth largest prize ahead of Friday’s drawing. The Powerball jackpot also grew again after no one won Wednesday night's drawing. The jackpot for Saturday night's Powerball drawing is now $470 million.
Lottery officials said there were four tickets that matched five white balls to win the Mega Million’s second prize of at least $1 million on Tuesday night, but no one has matched all six numbers since Sept. 15.
New Jersey Lottery Executive Director James Carey has some advice for lottery players, “Anything can happen in Jersey, so don’t miss out on this opportunity for your chances at two big jackpots as we celebrate the New Year. It only takes one ticket to get in a game.”
The last time the Mega Millions jackpot was over $400 million was on June 9, 2020, when a single ticket in Arizona won the $410 million prize.
Tonight’s $447 million Mega Millions drawing will be at 11 p.m.. All New Jersey Lottery MegaMillions tickets must be purchased before 10:45 pm to participate in the drawing.
The $410 million Powerball drawing will be held on Wednesday at 10:59 pm.
