A Mega Millions ticket worth $1 million was sold in New Jersey for Tuesday’s lottery drawing as the jackpot went without a big winner on New Year’s Eve. The second-prize Mega Millions ticket matched five of the winning numbers but not the Mega Ball drawn. Second-prize tickets worth $1 million were also sold in Florida and Minnesota.

The Mega Millions jackpot reset to $20 million after a ticket in California had the numbers to claim a $1.22 billion prize in Friday's draw.

A lottery player in Union County won $10,000 in the Tuesday, Dec. 24, Mega Millions drawing. The winning ticket was sold at 7-Eleven #37619 in Cranford, 299 South Ave. East. The winning numbers were: 11, 14, 38, 45 and 46, with 3 as the Gold Megaball.

At least one Mega Millions player has plenty of dough to ring in the New Year after drawing the winning number. After three months without anyone winning the top prize in the lottery, a ticket worth an estimated $1.22 billion was sold in California for the drawing Friday night, according to the Mega Millions website.

“We know that many people will likely receive tickets to Friday’s drawing as holiday gifts, and what a gift that would turn out to be if you ended up with a ticket worth a $1.15 billion jackpot,” Joshua Johnston, lead director for the Mega Millions Consortium, said in a news release before the jackpot rose again to $1.22 billion.

A New Jersey lottery player closed out the year with a bang by winning $1 million in the Mega Millions drawing on Tuesday.
