Someone who played in Sussex County holds a second-prize ticket
The $1 million ticket for Friday's Mega Millions drawing was purchased at a deli in Sussex County.
The lucky winner bought it at Catch 23 Deli on Hamburg Avenue in Sussex Borough, state lottery officials said Monday afternoon.
The winning numbers were 7, 9, 24, 41 and 53 with a Mega Ball of 14.
Second-prize tickets matching five numbers but not the Mega Ball were also sold in Georgia and California for Friday's drawing.
Tuesday's jackpot will be worth at least $177 million with a cash option of $106 million.
No one has won a Mega Millions jackpot since an $83 million ticket was sold in Georgia for the Nov. 18 drawing.
The odds of a Mega Millions ticket being worth at least $1 million are 18,492,204 to 1. Mega Millions is played in 44 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Meanwhile, Wednesday Powerball jackpot is valued at $170 million with a cash value of $103 million.
