This is because New Jersey is one of 16 states where lottery winners can stay anonymous.<\/p>\n<p>Forty-five states play the Mega Millions, as well as Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. But a new study found Delaware has the highest proportion of lottery winners in any US state.<\/p>\n<p>Lottery Geeks analyzed the number of Powerball and Mega Million winners in every US state, compared with their total population.<\/p>\n<p>Delaware topped the list with ten Powerball winners from a population of 989,948. That equates to 10.1 winners for every million residents.<\/p>\n<p>But with no Mega Millions winners, the total proportion of lottery winners is 5.05 per million. The study did not however address if a state had more lottery players, as data is unavailable.<\/p>\n<p>Delaware was followed by New Hampshire, with 11 Powerball winners from a population of 1,377,529 &#8211; eight winners per million residents.<\/p>\n<p>Third was Rhode Island, with 7.29 winners per million. Indiana took fourth, with the highest number of total winners at 39. Its 1,097,379 population gives a chance of 5.75 per million of hitting the jackpot.<\/p>\n<p>Closing out the top ten was:\u00a0Missouri, Nebraska, West Virginia, Kansas, Minnesota and Kentucky. Data for the study was sourced from the lottery and US census figures.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to the lucky New Jersey Lottery winner!
