NJ Lottery officials announced that a Bergen County Lottery player matched four of five white balls and the Gold Mega Ball, winning $10,000.
The included multiplier was 10X, multiplying the prize to $100,000 in Tuesday’s Mega Millions Drawing, lottery officials said.
According to NJ lottery officials, the winning numbers were 02, 18, 27, 34, and 59. The Gold Mega Ball was 18.
Big J 99, 813 Bergenline Avenue, Union City, sold the winning ticket, lottery officials say.
In April, the game updated its rules to include a free multiplier.
NJ Lottery officials stated that no player in the multi-state game won the jackpot, which is now $680 million heading into Friday’s drawing.
