The Mega Millions jackpot for Friday’s draw has risen to $ 520 million, making it possibly the eighth largest in the game’s history.

The winning numbers were: 3, 6, 16, 18 and 58. The Mega Ball draw was 11 with a megaplier of 2X.

No one across the country reached Tuesday’s $ 447 million jackpot, although four second-prize tickets were sold, including one in New Jersey.

The lucky $ 1 million Garden State ticket, which matches five numbers but not the Mega Ball, was purchased at Masso’s Deli & Pizzeria on Lakeview Drive in Gibbsboro, according to the New Jersey Lottery.

The others were purchased in California, Minnesota and Middletown, New York.

Tuesday’s winning numbers were: 20, 43, 51, 55 and 57. The Mega Ball was drawn 4 with a Megaplier of 2X.

The last time a lottery won the best Mega Millions jackpot was on September 15, 2020, when a $ 120 million ticket was sold in Wisconsin. Two top pots were hit in 2020 in New Jersey. An anonymous winner is claiming the $ 202 million prize won on February 11 with a ticket sold in Edison, and a $ 124 million ticket was purchased in Bayonne for the July 24 draw.

Mega Millions tickets cost $ 2 each and in New Jersey must be purchased on the night of the drawing at 10:45 p.m. The chance that a ticket can hit the jackpot by matching five numbers and the Mega Ball is 302,575,350 to 1. Players have a 1 in 12 607 306 chance of winning the second prize of at least $ 1 million by five numbers fit.

Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington DC and the US Virgin Islands.

The New Jersey Lottery office in Lawrence is open to the public by appointment. You can still claim your profits – provided they are less than $ 599.50 – in person at any dealer.

The lottery also accepts claims by mail, although officials warn that payments may be temporarily delayed. Winners are advised to make copies of the claim form and the winning ticket for their records.
