As word of the biggest jackpot in history spread, players headed to buy tickets at lottery agents like Robert Lewis News on State Street in Trenton.
"We're going to win it!" said Barbara Carter of New Egypt, New Jersey. "I could pay off my mortgage!"
"Whole lot and it's enough to take care of most of my problems in life," said Jim Rimalover. "And a lot of other people's problems, too."
Last night's jackpot was $363 million, fed by weeks of drawings without a top winner. The previous top jackpot in the Mega Millions game was $390 million in 2007, split by two winners in New Jersey and Georgia.
In last night's game, 47 players came very close, matching 5 of the 6 winning numbers. Each of those tickets is worth at least $250,000 dollars.
Mega Millions is played in more than 40 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The winning numbers last night were: 9, 19, 34, 44 and 51. The Mega Ball was 24.
Your chances of winning this giant jackpot are about 1 in 176 million.
