THAT IS quite a haul.

A Mega Millions-winning ticket estimated at a whopping $521 million was sold in New Jersey on Friday night.

The winning numbers were 11, 28, 31, 46, 59 and Mega Ball 1. No additional details on where the ticket was sold were available Saturday.

The winning ticket marked the first time someone had matched all six numbers drawn since January. The $521 million figure refers to the annuity option, in which payments are made over 29 years. The cash option would pay $317 million.

Mega Millions is played in 44 states, as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

It’s the 10th-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history. The biggest American lottery prize was $1.6 billion. Three winners — from California, Florida and Tennessee — shared that monster jackpot in 2016.
