One incredibly lucky person from New Jersey is getting the chance to answer that question for themselves after snapping up an astounding $1.13 billion jackpot in Mega Millions.
After a thrilling run of 30 drawings with no winner stepping forward to claim the jackpot, the 31st drawing of the multi-state Mega Millions game finally produced a winner. Last night's draw saw the massive pile of money finally finding a home when one lottery ticket sold in New Jersey matched all five numbers and the Mega Ball.
When it comes to lottery games, the Mega Millions is known not only for its exceptionally high jackpots but also for its tendency to roll over. This time, the envelope was pushed to the edge as the jackpot went unclaimed for 30 consecutive draws, leading the jackpot to reach an eye-watering $1.13 billion. Yes, that’s billion with a capital B, making it one of the most significant amounts ever won by a single ticket holder in the history of the lottery.
The winning numbers, drum-rolled and revealed last night, were the following: a winning combination that turned a simple piece of paper into a fortune. That precious ticket was armed with the power to turn one player's life upside down, making them the sole winner of such a gigantic prize pool.
From the moment our fortunate winner discovered they have the golden ticket, their life changed forever.
