TRENTON (Sept. 5, 2017) – Carole Hedinger, New Jersey Lottery executive director, announced that there were no Mega Millions game jackpot or second-tier New Jersey prizewinners. The winning numbers for the Friday, Sept. 1 drawing were: 04, 13, 31, 50 and 64. The Gold Mega Ball was 12, and the Megaplier Multiplier was 05. There were two third-tier prizewinning tickets sold that matched four of the five white balls and the Gold Mega Ball drawn winning the $5,000 prize. Those tickets were purchased at the following locations:

• Bergen County: Oakland Dairy & Tabacco, 394 Ramapo Valley Rd., Oakland; and
• Passaic County: Dutch Hill Convenience Store, 394 Highland Ave., Clifton.

If those tickets had been purchased with the Megaplier option, it would have multiplied the prize to $25,000.

In addition, 30 other players matched four of the five white balls drawn making each ticket worth $500. Six of those tickets were purchased with the Megaplier option, multiplying the prize to $2,500 each. Moreover, 65,462 other New Jersey players took home $134,850 in prizes ranging from $1 to $250, according to Hedinger.

“Congratulations to the lottery winners and to the retailers that sold the winning tickets,” said Hedinger. “For selling the winning tickets, the retailers have become many more Lottery ‘lucky locations’ overnight.”

The next drawing will be held Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 11:00 pm. All New Jersey Lottery Mega Millions tickets must be purchased before 10:45 pm to participate in the drawing. Mega Millions tickets cost just one dollar; by adding the Megaplier option for an extra dollar per play, players can increase their non-jackpot winnings up to five times.
