A single ticket has won the grand prize from the latest MegaMillions drawing.

Lottery officials said the winning ticket from Tuesday night's drawing worth $125 million was sold in New Jersey.

The identity of the newest millionaire has not been determined, nor has the location of the ticket purchase.
