2 $1M Mega Millions Tickets Sold In NJ, Jackpot Grows To $820M

NEW JERSEY — No one won Friday's $720 million Mega Millions grand prize, but check your tickets, New Jersey. Two tickets sold in the state were worth $1 million.

The numbers drawn late Friday were: 29, 40, 47, 50, 57 and gold Mega Ball 25. The winning New Jersey tickets matched the five white balls, making them worth $1 million, according to the Mega Millions website.

Two $1 million tickets were also sold in both North Carolina and Florida, while one winning ticket was sold in California and Michigan.

Nationwide, 14 tickets matched four white balls plus the Mega Ball to win the third-tier prize of $20,000 each.

Since no one snagged the big prize Friday, Tuesday's jackpot swells to an estimated $820 million with an estimated cash option of $422 million. The potential jackpot is the fifth-largest in the game’s history.

Drawings are held at 11 p.m. ET on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Despite the game’s long odds of 1 in 302.6 million, players continue to purchase tickets as the size of the grand prize grows.

The last time a Mega Millions player hit the top prize was April 18.
