A single ticket sold in New Jersey won the Mega Millions jackpot in the drawing held on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, for an advertised $90 million (with a cash option of about $41.9 million before taxes).
The ticket that hit all six numbers (the five white balls plus the Mega Ball) was sold in Union City, New Jersey, according to the official Mega Millions and news reports. The lottery had not publicly identified the individual winner as of the latest reports, since winners often come forward later and some states allow varying degrees of anonymity.
