“New Jersey Ticket Scoops $1.13 Billion Mega Millions Jackpot: March 26, 2024”
In a stunning turn of events, the Mega Millions jackpot drought finally came to an end on Tuesday night, March 26, 2024. A solitary ticket purchased in New Jersey emerged as the sole winner, matching all six numbers drawn. This windfall marks the eighth-largest jackpot in the history of U.S. lotteries and the fifth-highest Mega Millions win to date.
The winning numbers for this historic jackpot were 7, 11, 22, 29, 38, with the Mega Ball landing on 4. Additionally, one fortunate ticket holder from New York clinched a $2 million prize by matching all five numbers and opting for the Megaplier.
But the luck didn’t stop there. A total of twelve tickets, spread across various states including Florida, Georgia, and California, matched all five numbers except for the Mega Ball, securing a handsome $1 million each. Moreover, another ticket from New York mirrored the same feat but amplified its winnings to $2 million with the Megaplier.
As the dust settles on this record-breaking win, anticipation mounts for the next Mega Millions drawing, where the jackpot resets to a still-impressive $20 million. Whether lightning will strike twice remains to be seen, but for now, one lucky individual from New Jersey is undoubtedly celebrating a life-changing victory.
