TRENTON (Jan. 21, 2025) – The first Pick-6 jackpot of 2025 has been hit in Ocean County. The single $32 million ticket was sold at Quick Mart, 665 Bennetts Mills Road in Jackson. The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

“This marks the first Pick-6 jackpot of 2025. Congratulations on this life-changing moment,” said Executive Director James Carey. “When we say that ‘Anything can happen in Jersey,’ we mean it!”

The winning numbers for the Monday drawing were: 04, 11, 12, 15, 27 and 39. The cash value of the prize is about $14.4 million.

The jackpot will reset to $2 million for the next drawing that will be held Thursday, Jan. 23. The last time a Pick-6 jackpot was nearly this high was March 28, 2024, when two players in Morris and Monmouth counties split a $30 million prize. The highest jackpot was $48.9 million, won in Passaic County’s Clifton in 2001.

After a Mount Laurel player won a $3 million top prize on June 13, 2024, the current jackpot began rolling for 63 drawings over seven months. In that time, more than one million Pick-6 players won $6.34 million in non-jackpot prizes, including a $17,128 win on Jan. 16 in Bergen County. Further, more than 261 Double Play participants earned an additional $2.16 million in prizes. The 6,800 retailers who participated in this roll will receive an estimated $2.36 million in commissions. The state of New Jersey will receive about $18.9 million in Lottery commissions.

“The question on everyone’s mind is ‘have we heard from the winner yet?’” Carey said. “No we have not, but we want to remind them that a 2020 New Jersey law allows lottery winners to remain anonymous indefinitely, and the identity of winners will not be included in materials available to public inspection under the State’s Open Public Records Act.”

Quick Mart owners Mital Prajpati and Arvind Patel were elated both for their $10,000 award and for the winner. Prajpati said they plan to contribute some of their proceeds to a local food bank that serves those in need.

Double Play Results

Players are able to add Double Play for an extra $1.00 providing a chance to win up to $250,000 in cash. The Double Play drawing results for the Monday, Jan. 20, drawing were: 11, 17, 18, 31, 37 and 41. Pick-6 Lotto was introduced in 1980 with an added advantage – a grand prize bonus drawing with cash prizes up to $100,000. The latest iteration of the game started in April 2022 and now offers XTRA as a standard feature and includes the option of Double Play – two drawings held back-to-back for a chance at bonus prizes.
