The jackpot is now at $600 million for the fourth time ever in history.
Even though no one won the Mega Millions jackpot earlier this week, there are some new millionaires in New York, New Jersey, and Minnesota.
They both had winners with five numbers, but missing the Mega number. The Minnesota and New Jersey winners had tickets worth $1 million each.
The $1 million winning ticket in New Jersey was sold at Masso s Deli & Pizzeria on Lakeview Dr. North in Gibbsboro in Camden County.
A $2 million winning ticket was sold at the Citgo Mart in Middletown, Orange County.
That ticket is worth $2 million because the player utilized the Megaplier option, where for an additional $1 any non-jackpot prize will be multiplied by the Megaplier number drawn.
