Mega Millions jackpot surges to $393M, 10th largest in game’s history. Ticket worth $50K sold in N.J.

While no one across the country won Tuesday’s $367 million Mega Millions jackpot, seven tickets sold in New are worth at least $10,000 apiece.

The top prize for Friday’s drawing has jumped to an estimated $393 million.

That ties for the 10th-largest Mega Millions jackpot and the 27th biggest in U.S. lottery history. The cash option will be worth $242.2 million.

Tuesday’s winning numbers were: 10, 50, 55, 56 and 58. The Mega Ball drawn was 15 with a Megaplier of 5X.

In New Jersey, seven third-prize tickets were sold that matched four numbers plus the Mega Ball.

One - sold at 7-Eleven in Mount Holly - was bought with the Megaplier and is worth $50,000. Six $10,000 tickets were bought at the following locations:

Swedesboro Shell on Route 322 in Swedesboro

Stop & Shop on Perrineville Road in Monroe, Middlesex County

Cedar Bridge Tiger Mart on Brick Boulevard in Brick

P & M Convenience Store on West Union Boulevard in Bound Brook

Acme on Route 23 north in Sussex Borough

Clark Lunch Box on Raritan Road in Clark

N.J. Lottery hit record $3.35B in revenue last year. The biggest sales winner might surprise you.

New Jersey lottery players also left $52.3 million on the table in unclaimed winnings in fiscal year 2018.

Since the rare 5X Megaplier came up, one ticket holder in Pennsylvania and another in Texas won $5 million apiece as each player spent an extra $1 to exercise the Megaplier option. Three more $1 million tickets were sold - one each in Connecticut, Florida and Wyoming. Those five tickets matched five numbers but not the Mega Ball.

The Mega Millions jackpot has gone unclaimed since March 12, when Hira Singh of Shawnee, Kansas won the $50 million top prize with a ticket he bought at a QuikTrip in Kansas City, Missouri. Since then, 20 twice-weekly drawings have been held without a jackpot winner.

On March 1, Michael Weirsky of Alpha, Warren County won the $273 million prize.

Mega Millions tickets cost $2 each. The odds of a ticket matching five numbers and the Mega Ball are 302,575,350 to 1. It’s a 1 in 12,607,306 shot to win the second prize of at least $1 million by matching five numbers.

Mega Millions is played in 44 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
