$1M-Winning Mega Millions Ticket Sold In Millstone
If you bought tickets for the Friday, Oct. 19 drawing, you'd better double-check them.
MILLSTONE, NJ — Someone who bought their Mega Millions tickets in Millstone for Friday's drawing is holding one worth $1 million.
Lottery officials announced the location of that winning ticket late Sunday morning. No one won the overall Mega Millions jackpot, and that prize now has climbed to a mind-boggling $1.6 billion for the drawing on Tuesday, Oct. 23.
No one matched all six numbers drawn Friday, Oct. 19 – the white balls 15, 23, 53, 65 and 70, plus the gold Mega Ball 7.
