New Jersey Mega Millions: Live Results Today, Billion-Dollar Jackpots & Megaplier Guide
Welcome to New Jersey’s premier live winning numbers portal and official player guide for Mega Millions. The New Jersey Lottery joined The Big Game consortium in May 1999, quickly establishing the Garden State as one of the most prominent powerhouses in multi-state lottery gaming. New Jersey was an instrumental founding partner when the game expanded into The Big Game Mega Millions in 2002 and adopted its current nationwide format in 2005. Official Mega Millions drawings are broadcast live twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday nights at 11:00 PM Eastern Time (ET), originating from the WSB-TV studios in Atlanta, Georgia. In New Jersey, ticket sales close at 10:45 PM ET on drawing nights across more than 6,800 licensed retailers and state-registered digital courier platforms.
New Jersey holds a storied legacy of creating legendary, record-shattering Mega Millions billionaires! On March 26, 2024, a single ticket purchased at the ShopRite Liquor store in Neptune, New Jersey matched all five white balls and the gold Mega Ball to capture an astonishing $1.128 Billion Mega Millions jackpot ($536.6 million cash value). This historic prize stands as the single largest lottery payout ever won in New Jersey history and the fifth-largest jackpot in global lottery history! Other iconic New Jersey Mega Millions winners include Richard Wahl of Vernon, who won a colossal $533 million jackpot in March 2018, and Harold and Tina Messner of Cape May County, who split a legendary $390 million jackpot in March 2007.
A standard Mega Millions play costs $2.00. Players choose 5 white balls from 1 to 70 and 1 gold Mega Ball from 1 to 24. For an additional $1.00 per play, players can add the popular Megaplier feature. The Megaplier randomly draws a multiplier number (2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x) before every drawing, multiplying all non-jackpot secondary tier prizes. Crucially, the Megaplier boosts the second-tier Match 5 prize from $1,000,000 up to an incredible $5,000,000 in cash! Overall odds of winning any prize tier on a $2 play are an approachable 1 in 24.
Under New Jersey's 2017 Lottery Enterprise Contribution Act, 100% of net proceeds generated from Mega Millions ticket sales are transferred directly into the Common Pension Fund L, providing vital financial stability for public school teachers, police officers, firefighters, and state employees throughout New Jersey. New Jersey allows all jackpot winners to remain 100% completely anonymous under state law enacted in 2020. Prizes over $10,000 are subject to 8.0% New Jersey state tax withholding (10.75% for prizes exceeding $500,000) and 24% federal tax withholding. All winning tickets remain valid for claiming for one full year (365 days) from the official draw date.
