NJ Lottery officials announced that the jackpot of Pick-6, New Jersey’s most venerable draw game, is nearing the $30 million mark after no player matched the winning numbers in Monday’s drawing.
The current jackpot is an estimated $29.9 million, and the next drawing is Thursday at 10:57 p.m., lottery authorities stated.
According to NJ Lottery officials, some notable jackpot wins that took place in 2024 were:
- In March, two players split a $30 million top prize.
- In May, a $4.9 million jackpot was won, followed by a $3 million jackpot in June. Pick-6 Lotto was introduced in 1980 with an added advantage – a grand prize bonus drawing with cash prizes of up to $100,000.
The latest iteration of the game started in April 2022 and now offers XTRA as a standard feature, lottery officials said. It also includes the option of Double Play—two drawings held back-to-back for a chance at bonus prizes.
All New Jersey Lottery game winning numbers and drawings for the Pick-3, Pick-4, Jersey Cash 5, Pick-6, and CASH4LIFE games can be viewed on the NJ Lottery website (www.NJLottery.com) or on the official Lottery Facebook Page. Powerball and Mega Millions drawings can be seen on WABC-TV or WTXF stations.
