A Mega Millions ticket sold in New Jersey won $1 million as the game's jackpot for tonight's drawing has now soared above $200 million.
The ticket sold at the 777 Food Store on Haledon Avenue in Haledon, Passaic County, matched all five numbers drawn Friday: 13, 15, 35, 62 and 74, the New Jersey Lottery said.
But no one matched the five white balls and the Mega Ball of 12, bringing tonight's jackpot to $206 million for the annuity, or $131 million cash.
A New York ticket also matched the five white balls to win $1 million in Friday's drawing.
The Mega Millions jackpot has been rolling over since a ticket sold in New York won $326 million in the Nov. 4 drawing.
That prize, according to lottery officials, was the eighth-largest in Mega Millions history and the biggest prize ever won by a single ticket.
Four Pennsylvanians also became millionaires in the first days of 2015, with tickets sold in Allegheny, Bucks, Columbia and York counties winning $1 million each in Saturday's Millionaire Raffle.
The lucky Bucks ticket was sold at the Wawa at 5900 Bristol Pike in Bristol.
The winning Millionaire Raffle prize numbers were: 00303816, 00156850, 00438607 and 00387386.
