TRENTON (Oct. 16, 2017) – New Jersey Lottery Executive Director Carole Hedinger announced that after only six drawings, tickets sold from Rhode Island and Mississippi State Lotteries matched all of the numbers drawn from the Friday, Oct. 13 drawing and will split the $21.5 million Mega Millions jackpot.

The winning numbers for the Friday, Oct. 13 drawing were: 02, 07, 18, 26 and 31. The Gold Mega Ball was 12, and the Megaplier Multiplier was 02. Two New Jersey Lottery ticket holders won $5,000 for matching four of five white balls and the Gold Mega Ball drawn. Those tickets were sold at the following Locations:

• Burlington County: ShopRite #572, 622 Route 206 & Martin, Bordentown; and

• Union County: D & R Liquor, 1120 Liberty, Ave., Hillside.

If those tickets had been purchased with the Megaplier option, it would have multiplied the prizes to $10,000 each.
