New Jersey Player Snags Mega Millions Jackpot Worth $90 Million
The last draw that took place on Tuesday, December 2, has resulted in a jackpot that is simply staggering to the tune of $90 million. It has not been announced who the winner is yet. But lottery officials have confirmed that there was only one ticket that had all the winning numbers.
The winning numbers were 17, 25, 26, 53 and 60, while the Mega Ball number was 16. The ordinary ticket has now become an immensely powerful one. The winner is only required to confirm the details with the lottery office and then they can decide how they want to claim it.
A winner is usually given 2 choices as to how the winnings will be paid. Whether he will be paid the full amount of the jackpot in installments over a number of years or he will be given a lesser amount but in one single payment. “Cash now” is estimated to be $41.9 million after the lottery’s calculations.
There is a lot of talk going on in New Jersey dealers and everybody is trying to figure out which store is the one that sold the lucky ticket. And yes, stores that sell the winning tickets are often given a nice little incentive.
