Since then, there have been over 7.8 million winning tickets, including the jackpot winner and 17 tickets worth $1 million or above.This is New Jersey's third Mega Millions jackpot win in as many years.

Another big winner in 2018 was park ranger Judith Smith, who won a $29.5 million New Jersey Lotto jackpot just days after she lost her income when she was furloughed by the government.
