A few lucky Pennsylvania and New Jersey residents won big on the Nation’s birthday.
Four people became instant millionaires on Saturday through the Pennsylvania Lottery’s newest game, Millionaire Raffle. And five Jersians won $250,000 in Friday’s Mega Millions drawing, according to Philly.com.
The four Pa., winning numbers were 00364562, 00381511, 00101931 and 00201179, according to lotterypost.
The winning New Jersey ticketholders had the first five numbers (5, 6, 7, 11, 25) but not the Mega Ball of 31, said a philly.com report.
To win the Millionaire Raffle, you have to match the unique, eight-digit number printed on the ticket with the raffle number selected in the drawing. The winning numbers have to be in the exact sequence in which they were selected, said the lotterypost.
On Saturday, aside from the millionaires, there were also four $100,000 winners and 100 people won $1,000, according to lotterypost. It looks like this year the Fourth of July weekend was a lucky one for Pennsylvania and New Jersey residents.
All prizes are paid in cash, including the jackpot. Big winners must file a claim for payment, according to lotterypost.
