UNION CITY, N.J. — One person in New Jersey is $90 million richer after hitting Tuesday's Mega Millions jackpot.
The winning ticket was sold at the lottery stand at Garden State News on Bergenline Avenue in Union City.
This is the eighth time since 2018 that the New Jersey Lottery has sold a Mega Millions jackpot ticket or a Powerball jackpot ticket.
"Every time I meet lottery directors from other states, they say the biggest complaint they hear is how come only people in California and New Jersey win Powerball or Mega Millions," said New Jersey Lottery Executive Director Jim Carey. "There's an awful lot of people in California buying Powerball or Mega Millions tickets and there's an awful lot of lucky people in the state of New Jersey that are buying Powerball and Mega Millions tickets."
The winner has not yet come forward, but the cash value of the ticket is $41 million.
The owner of the lottery stand will take home $30,000.
"I just found out this morning at 6:30 that we had a winner," Krish Patel, the store owner since 2014, said. "It's great for the player, for us and the community. Now, we're one of the lucky stores, too."
