Tonight is also the six-year anniversary of the largest Mega Millions jackpot. On March 30, 2012, three ticket holders split a $ 656 million prize. The lucky tickets were bought in Illinois, Maryland and Kansas.
No one has captured the Mega Millions jackpot since Jan. 5 when Shane Missler, 20, of Port Richey, Florida won the $ 451 million prize. Since then, 35 tickets of at least $ 1 million have been sold nationwide.
Tuesday’s $ 458 million drawing didn’t produce a jackpot winner, but two tickets, including one sold in New Jersey, matched five numbers but not the Mega Ball. The $ 1 million New Jersey ticket was purchased at Quick Chek in Bedminster. There were also three tickets worth $ 10,000 sold in the state — in Oakland, Belleville and Secaucus.
A Mega Millions ticket costs $ 2. The odds of a ticket matching five numbers and the Mega Ball are 302,575,350 to 1. It’s a 1 in 12,607,306 shot to win the second prize of at least $ 1 million by matching five numbers.
Mega Millions is played in 44 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Drawings are held on Tuesday and Friday.
