TRENTON (March 21, 2025) – The first day of spring sprung in a big way Thursday. Two months to the day after the first Pick-6 jackpot of 2025 was won, a Union County player struck gold in Clark by matching all six of the winning numbers for the $5.5 million jackpot.

The single ticket was sold at the Clark Cardsmart, 170 Westfield Ave., in Clark. The winning numbers for the Thursday, March 20 drawing were 07, 10, 24, 31, 43 and 44. The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. The cash value of the prize is $2,598,025.

Thursday’s Pick-6 win is New Jersey’s second highest prize of 2025. The largest was the previous Pick-6 jackpot of $32 million that was won January 20 in the Ocean County township of Jackson. The highest Pick-6 jackpot of all time was $48.9 million, won in Passaic County’s Clifton in 2001.

Other notable recent Pick-6 wins:

• March 28, 2024: $30 million split equally by two players in Morris and Monmouth counties.
• May 13, 2024: $4.5 million in Morris County.
• June 13, 2024: $3 million in Burlington County.

For the New Jersey Lottery, every win is cause for celebration.

“We have had at least 160 people win prizes of more than $10,000 this year, and this is the 11th prize of more than $1 million,” Lottery Executive Director James Carey said. “Just the other day, I had the opportunity to meet the last Pick-6 winner when they came in to collect their prize. Meeting the winners is the best part of this job. It’s so much fun. Let’s keep it rolling!”

The jackpot will reset to $2 million ahead of the next drawing Monday, March 24.
