New Jersey Lottery Executive Director Carole Hedinger issued the following statement on Friday regarding game drawings typically held on Dec. 25, 2017:
“On Dec. 25, 2017, pursuant to the authorization given the New Jersey State Lottery Commission through the provisions of N.J.S.A. 5:9-7, the New Jersey Lottery will not hold drawings for the following regularly scheduled ‘live-drawing’ games: Pick-3, Pick-4, Jersey Cash 5, Pick-6 XTRA and 5 Card Cash.
The Pick-6 XTRA Lotto drawing, however, has been rescheduled and will be drawn on Tuesday, Dec. 26th instead of Monday, Dec. 25th. Players may purchase tickets for the Dec. 26th drawing up to draw close time (7:53 pm) on Dec. 26th.
The CASH4LIFE drawing will still be held on Monday, Dec. 25, 2017 since it is a ‘live-drawing’ game with multi-state participation.
Normal drawings for all Lottery ‘live-drawing’ games will resume once again
on Dec. 26th.”
