Both $1 million Mega Millions tickets bought in New Jersey for Friday’s lottery drawing were bought in North Jersey.

One second-prize Mega Millions ticket was sold at Food Mart on Market Street in Elmwood Park and the other by someone who bought a ticket using the Jackpocket app, New Jersey Lottery officials said Tuesday. Each lucky ticket matched five numbers but not the Mega Ball.

Another $1 million ticket was sold in Minnesota.

The jackpot for Tuesday’s drawing is worth an estimated $347 million with a cash option of $239.4 million.

The winning Mega Millions numbers for Friday’s drawing were: 5, 8, 13, 22, 48. The Mega Ball drawn was 25 with a Megaplier of 2x. The jackpot for Friday’s drawing was $325 million.

No one has hit the Mega Millions jackpot since a family in Lake Havasu, Arizona won the $108 million prize on Oct. 22. They chose the cash option of $75.2 million before taxes.

Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
