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

A Mega Millions ticket sold in New Jersey won $1 million and narrowly missed the $47 million jackpot, lottery officials say.

The ticket matched all five winning numbers but not the Mega Ball in the drawing Friday, Sept. 20, the national Mega Millions site said.

Nobody won the grand prize, which now rises to an estimated $62 million, with a cash option of approximately $31 million, for the next drawing Tuesday, Sept. 24.

The winning numbers were 20, 21, 40, 49 and 55, with a Mega Ball of 11, the New Jersey Lottery said. The Megaplier was 3.

A ticket sold in California, which adjusts prizes based on the number of tickets sold and number of winners, matched five numbers to win $300,000.

More than 460,000 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 Sept. 10, when a Texas player hit the $810 million grand prize, lottery officials said.
