36 Times in 2026
TRENTON (July 8, 2026) – As we cross over into the second half of 2026, New Jersey Lottery is taking a moment to highlight that there have already been 36 prizes of $1,000,000 or more claimed in the first half of 2026. Prizes ranged from $1,000,000 all the way up to $12,300,000. Players celebrated wins in Jersey Cash 5, Pick-6, Powerball, Mega Millions, and a wide variety of Scratch-Offs including $5,000,000 Fortune, 200X Cash Blitz, Win For Life!, and more.
Our winners come from all over the state, with two separate $1,000,000 prizes as far south as Villas and Rio Grande in Cape May County and a $4,000,000 Mega Millions prize all the way up in Closter, Bergen County.
One Pick-6 jackpot ticket worth $6,500,000 was sold via the mobile app Jackpocket, but the winning claim can be attributed to Burlington County.
Did you know? The April 29, 2026, Powerball drawing produced 18 millionaires in New Jersey alone. Read about some of their stories here and here. The $5.9 million Pick-6 ticket from Roseland was claimed just 8 days before the ticket expired!
