TRENTON (Dec. 30, 2022) – Due to increasing sales across the nation, the Mega Millions jackpot has been increased to a $685 million annuity. The estimated cash value is $347.8 million.

Our website features important information for players, including Mega Millions odds & prizes and tips and guidelines for group or lottery pool play. If a player believes they have a winning ticket, we recommend signing the back of the ticket and taking a picture of both sides for security before checking the ticket with our app, website, or any New Jersey Lottery retailer. A winner of a large prize may wish to seek financial and legal consultation.

The Lottery urges everyone to play responsibly and promotes responsible play through its cooperation with the Council on Compulsive Gambling of NJ and by promoting the Council’s helpline phone number, 1-800-GAMBLER, on all Lottery marketing and advertising materials.
