The New Jersey Lottery is spicing up its Pick-3 evening drawings from October 2 through October 29, offering players not one but two chances to win on straight bet wagers.
With the introduction of the "Straight Back Bonus" promotion, players have the opportunity to score an additional $50 bonus prize when their chosen numbers match the winning numbers in reverse order.
Here's how it works: When a Pick-3 player selects a combination like 1-2-3 and the winning numbers drawn turn out to be 3-2-1, that player wins a cool $50 bonus on top of their regular prize.
But the excitement doesn't stop there. If the numbers drawn are the same forwards and backward, such as 1-2-1, players can revel in both the standard straight payout prize and an extra $50 bonus prize!
This exciting promotion applies to various straight bet wagers, including straight, straight/box, and wheel options for Pick-3.
It's essential to note that the promotion exclusively applies to the evening drawings, and multi-draw tickets are eligible only during the promotional period.
James Carey, the Executive Director of the New Jersey Lottery, shared his enthusiasm, stating, "The Straight Back Bonus promotion is a great new way to play Pick-3.
Now players can root for their lucky numbers to come out straight forwards or backward."
Playing Pick-3 is as easy as it gets. For just 50 cents per wager, players pick three numbers ranging from 0 to 9.
Matching all three numbers straight, boxed, paired, or split offers various chances to win prizes, with potential payouts reaching up to $250.
So, whether you're a seasoned player or new to the game, this exciting promotion adds an extra layer of fun to Pick-3 evening drawings.
