The sole winner of a $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpot has begun the process of collecting the prize, the New Jersey Lottery said Monday.

The Mega Millions $1.269 billion jackpot was won by a ticket sold in Northern California. But 10 tickets bought in New Jersey won big, too.

Twenty lottery players in New Jersey won $10,000 or more last week playing Powerball, Mega Millions and New Jersey Lottery games.

It was another lucky week for New Jersey Lottery winners. This week saw 20 people take home at least $10,000 in prizes. One winner was from our area. A $1,000,000 Ultimate Spectacular ticket won $10,000 after it was sold at Plaza Convenience in Neptune.
