The winner of a $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpot has come forward in New Jersey. The winning ticket was sold last March at a ShopRite in Neptune Township, Monmouth County. New Jersey lottery winners have one year from the drawing date to claim their prize, and this winner, who has chosen to remain anonymous, met the deadline.
Meanwhile, another Mega Millions jackpot is drawing attention. A $944 million prize, with a cash option of approximately $439 million, will be awarded in the Christmas Eve drawing. No one has won the jackpot since September 10th, making this the seventh largest prize in Mega Millions history.
