The Mega Millions jackpot is on the rise again without a jackpot or a $ 1 million winner on Tuesday night.

The jackpot reached $ 405 million, the eighth largest in the history of Mega Millions, and will be fired on Friday. The cash option would allow the winner to win $ 235 million.

The winning numbers on Tuesday night were: 2, 22, 29, 31, 34 and Mega Ball 1.

Although there was no big winner, 30 people allocated four white balls and the Mega Ball to win the third prize of $ 10,000, six of which are worth $ 30,000 because the ticket holders bought the optional megaplier multiplying the value of the lowest prices. New Jersey Lottery generally advertises on Wednesdays if New Jersey stores are selling tickets for the third prize.

ADVICE: If you win a giant jackpot, get ready to say "NO"

Residents of New Jersey were lucky with major jackpots in 2018.

A man from Vernon won $ 533 million from Mega Millions at the end of March. It was the fourth highest jackpot ever won by the game at that time and the second biggest win ever for one person. A mini market in Riverdale sold the ticket. Since then, only one ticket in California has won a jackpot of $ 543 million in July, although this amount has been shared among several people from an office pool, according to the Mega Millions website.

A man from Little Ferry won a $ 351.3 million Powerball jackpot in May. The winning ticket was sold at a Shoprite store in Hackensack.

The next draw on Powerball will take place Wednesday night and the jackpot is estimated at $ 229 million.
