TRENTON (Oct. 7, 2026) – A New Jersey Lottery player in Ocean County on Tuesday matched five white balls as well as the 2X multiplier to increase a $1,000,000 prize to $2,000,000.

In April 2025, the multi-state game enacted a rule change that provided players with a free random multiplier. Players are eligible to win a 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or 10X multiplier. The ticket was sold at Country Food Market, 941 Route 9 in Bayville. The winning numbers were 26, 32, 42, 51 and 54. The Mega ball was 22. No player won the jackpot, which is now $364 million heading into Friday’s drawing.
