A lucky lottery player somewhere in New Jersey is $1 million richer today after buying a Mega Millions ticket for Friday night’s drawing that matched five of the winning numbers.

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.

Tickets sold in New Jersey and California won second-tier prizes Friday, while the jackpot will hit $62 million for Tuesday's drawing.

Someone at the Jersey Shore in March got very lucky, they’re now a billionaire, or will be once they claim the Mega Millions prize. But time’s running out.

No tickets were sold matching all six numbers in Friday night’s Mega Millions lottery drawing. There were two tickets sold matching five numbers in California and New Jersey. The ticket in New Jersey is worth $1 million.

A Texas player won the $810 million Mega Millions jackpot Tuesday night, but there's an even bigger prize sitting unclaimed.

Only two other Mega Millions jackpots have been won this year. Before the Illinois winning ticket, a $1.1 billion winning ticket was purchased in New Jersey in March. That prize is still unclaimed. Winners in New Jersey have one year to claim their winnings.
