John M. White, New Jersey Lottery acting executive director, announced that there were two New Jersey tickets sold that matched the five white balls drawn winning the $1,000,000 second-tier prize for Feb. 9th drawing.
If those tickets had been purchased with the Megaplier option, it would have multiplied the prize to $3,000,000.
In addition, one ticket was sold that matched the four white balls and the Gold Mega Ball winning the $10,000 third-tier prize. If that ticket had been purchased with the Megaplier option, it would have multiplied the prize to $30,000.

In addition, 10 other players matched four of the five white balls drawn making each ticket worth $500. Two of those tickets were purchased with the Megaplier option, multiplying the prize to $1,500.
