How to Claim Your Prize and Upcoming Drawings

Winners from February 2 through 8 came from ShopRite, Quick Mart, Andy’s Liquor Store, and other retailers statewide. New Jersey law allows lottery winners to remain anonymous when claiming their prizes, protecting their privacy.

The next Mega Millions drawing is scheduled for Friday evening, with ticket sales closing at 10:45 p.m. New Jersey residents can purchase tickets in-store or online. A single Mega Millions ticket costs $5, with the odds of winning the grand prize at 1 in 290,472,336.

What’s Next for New Jersey Lottery Players

Jackpots typically roll up during weeks without winners, meaning the next Mega Millions jackpot could grow significantly beyond the current $366 million estimate. Players interested in Jersey Cash 5, Powerball, or scratch-off games have multiple daily opportunities to win across the New Jersey Lottery portfolio.

For lottery enthusiasts, checking tickets remains crucial since unclaimed prizes cannot be claimed after a specific deadline set by New Jersey Lottery officials. Winners of $10,000 or more typically meet with lottery representatives to discuss payout options between annuity and lump-sum payments.
