$4M Mega Millions Lottery Prize Won By Bergen County Player As Jackpot Grows
No one hit the Mega Millions jackpot, which has grown to $130M for Friday's drawing.
BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — A lottery player in Bergen County hit it big on Tuesday, winning $4 million in the Big Mega Millions game.
The player was able to multiply the $1 million prize by four because they matched four white balls and the Mega ball, as well as the 4X multiplier, said a spokesman for the NJ Lottery.
The game added a rule a year ago that provides a random multiplier for players. They can win two, three, four, five, or ten times the $1 million prize.
