7th BIGGEST JACKPOT IN 18 YEARS PICK-6 JACKPOT IS NOW AT $29.5 MILLION
TRENTON (Dec. 14, 2018) – Without a winner for last night’s drawing, the jackpot for the New Jersey Lottery’s Pick 6 Lotto game has rolled to $29.5 million ($20.7 cash option). The absence of a top-prize winner places New Jersey’s Pick 6 Lotto among the top ten largest potential jackpot prizes in the last 18 years. The next drawing for Pick 6 will be held on Monday, Dec. 17th at 7:57 pm.
The game’s jackpot has grown to the largest up for grabs since 2004, so players are urged to get a ticket and get in the game that offers prizes at all levels and a chance to end 2018 as a multi-millionaire.
December 13th’s drawing produced 19 winners of $2,626 all of whom matched five out of six white balls drawn. Two of those tickets were purchased with XTRA, multiplying the prizes to $7,878. Acting Executive Director James Carey announced that there were 998,051 tickets purchased for the drawing and of those sold, thousands were prizewinners!
The winning numbers for the Thursday, Dec. 13th drawing were: 03, 11, 14, 15, 41, and 48. The XTRA Multiplier was: 03. By adding XTRA for an additional $1.00 per play, winners are able to multiply their non-jackpot prizes by the XTRA number drawn.
For correctly matching four numbers, 745 ticketholders won $64 each and 111 others won $192 each with the addition of XTRA. Moreover, for correctly matching three numbers 15,268 ticketholders won $3.00 each and 1,978 others won $9 each with the addition of XTRA. Lastly, 15,728 ticketholders each won $2.00 for correctly matching two numbers with the addition of XTRA on their purchase.
