John M. White, New Jersey Lottery acting executive director, announced that there were no Mega Millions game jackpot or second-tier New Jersey prizewinners.
There was one third-tier prizewinning ticket sold that matched four of the five white balls and the Gold Mega Ball drawn winning the $10,000 prize.
That ticket was purchased at Quick Chek #93, 822 Broadway #828, Bayonne in Hudson County.
If that ticket had been purchased with the Megaplier option, the prize would have been multiplied to $30,000. The winning numbers for the Tuesday, Jan. 9 drawing were: 16, 29, 31, 65 and 67. The Gold Mega Ball was 23, and the Megaplier Multiplier was 03.
In addition, 15 other players matched four of the five white balls drawn making each ticket worth $500. If those tickets had been purchased with the Megaplier option, it would have multiplied the prize to $1,500.
Moreover, 20,526 other New Jersey players took home $87,050 in prizes ranging from $2 to $600, according to White.
“Congratulations to the lottery winners and to the retailers that sold the winning tickets,” said White. “For selling the winning tickets, the retailers have become many more Lottery ‘lucky locations’ overnight.”
