Fortune continues without designating the winner of what until today already represents the third largest prize in the history of the lottery in the United States, $1.100 million dollars.
However, last Friday, a winning $1,000,000 Mega Millions ticket was issued at a store in Morris County, New Jersey.
New Jersey Lottery officials said a person purchased the ticket at the In & Out Deli on Route 46 in Ledgewood.
Likewise, it was reported that three other tickets corresponding to the third prize in the draw were sold in said state.
Through the Jackpocket app, one was sold with the Megaplier option for an additional $1 and is worth $30,000.
The other pair of tickets, with prizes of $10,000 each, were purchased directly at ShopRite, on River Road, New Milford; as well as the Quick Stop, on Ringwood Avenue, in Haskell.
Because no one has matched all six of the jackpot numbers, the jackpot has rolled over 25 times since October 14 of last year when a winner from Florida and another from California split a $502,000,000 jackpot.
It should be noted that the odds of a $2 ticket matching all Mega Millions winning numbers are 302,575,350 to 1.
Now, players have a 1 in 12,607,306 chance that a ticket will match five numbers to get $1,000,000.
One piece of information that those interested in seeking the $1.100 million dollars should take into account —which are at stake until this Tuesday— is that said amount is to be distributed in 29 annuities, because in the event that a winner intends to access the money in a single exhibition, the amount would be reduced to $568.7 million dollars, this due to taxes and lottery rules.
