What Atlantic County Person Won $1 Million In N.J. Lottery?

There was one $1 million New Jersey winner whose ticket matched the 5 white balls from the Friday, Nov. 27 Mega Millions drawing, according to Carole Hedinger, New Jersey Lottery executive director.

If that ticket had been purchased with the Megaplier option it would have been worth $3 million. The $1 million winning ticket was sold at a N.J. convenience store, and the N.J. Lottery is asking that ticket-holder to step forward.

There were 12 players whose tickets matched the 4 white balls making each ticket worth $500. One of those tickets was purchased with the Megaplier option making it worth $1,500. Moreover, 54,880 other New Jersey players took home $95,298 in prizes ranging from $1 to $150, according to Hedinger.

The $1 million ticket was sold in Atlantic County at City $.99 Cents Market, 1410 Atlantic Ave.

“Congratulations to the lottery winners and to the retailers that sold all of those winning tickets,” said Hedinger. “For selling the winning tickets, the retailers have become many more Lottery ‘lucky locations’ overnight.” The winning numbers for the Friday, November 27 drawing were: 16, 20, 39, 56 and 59. The Gold Mega Ball was12, and the Megaplier Multiplier was 03.
