NJ Lottery officials announced that one lucky player purchased a Quick Draw Progressive ticket, winning $48,162, 10% of the progressive jackpot, on Wednesday, May 8.
Officials said Quick Draw Progressive tickets are sold at any retailer and offer a fast way for players to see if their ticket is a lucky winner.
The winning ticket was sold at Kaival Mini Store, 168 Washington Ave., Nutley, in Essex County, according to officials.
Lottery officials said the Quick Draw Progressive Jackpot is over $434,000 at the time of this release.
How does the Quick Draw Progressive Jackpot work?
According to officials, this rolling jackpot is available to every single player at no additional cost.
A set of nine “Your Jackpot Numbers” (01-80) are randomly selected and printed at the bottom of every Quick Draw ticket, officials stated.
If all nine of the player’s numbers are selected in any of the Quick Draw drawings that the ticket is eligible for, officials say, the ticket wins a portion of the Progressive Jackpot based on the amount wagered per draw.
