The 1.128 billion Mega Millions jackpot is the 5th highest in the history of the game.

If you're curious, the biggest jackpot in Mega Millions history was won in August of 2023. The ticket worth $1.6 billion was sold in the state of Florida.

As of this writing, the enormous prize won in New Jersey this year is still unclaimed, according to lottery officials.

New Jersey lottery winners have one year from the drawing date to claim their prize.

Could A New York State Resident Hold The Winning Ticket?

Because the Garden State borders New York State, it's possible the $1.128 billion ticket is somewhere in the Empire State. My first job out of college was in New Jersey. I commuted each day from the Hudson Valley.

The winning ticket was sold at ShopRite Wines & Spirits of Neptune. It's located at 2200 NJ-66, Neptune City, NJ 07753.
