Mega Millions player wins $1 million prize. Where was the winning ticket sold?

A Mega Millions ticket sold in New Jersey won $1 million and narrowly missed the $464 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched five winning numbers but not the Mega Ball in the drawing Friday, Aug. 16, to win $1 million, the national Mega Millions site said.

Nobody won the grand prize, which rises to an estimated $498 million, with a cash option of approximately $245.3 million, for the next drawing Tuesday, Aug. 20, the New Jersey Lottery said.

The winning numbers were 22, 38, 48, 51 and 61 with a Mega Ball of 5. The Megaplier was 3.

A ticket sold in California also matched five numbers to win more than $1 million.

California adjusts lottery prizes based on the number of tickets sold and number of winners.

More than 914,000 other tickets sold in the United States won prizes ranging from $2 to $30,000 in the drawing, the lottery said.

The Mega Millions jackpot has gone unclaimed since June 4, when an Illinois player hit the $552 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
