TRENTON (Sept. 1, 2026) – A New Jersey Lottery player in Essex County won $176,632 for 40% of the Quick Draw Progressive with a ticket purchased this morning.

Quick Draw Progressive tickets are sold at any New Jersey Lottery retailer and offer a fast way for players to see if they are winners.

US Quick Food Mart, 481 Central Ave., East Orange, sold the winning ticket.

The current estimated jackpot is more than $265,000.

How does the Quick Draw Progressive Jackpot work?

This rolling jackpot is available to every player at no additional cost. A set of nine “Your Jackpot Numbers” (01-80) are randomly selected and printed at the bottom of every Quick Draw ticket. If all nine of the player’s numbers are selected in any of the Quick Draw drawings that the ticket is eligible for, the ticket wins a portion of the Progressive Jackpot based on the amount wagered per draw.

A $1 wager per draw ticket wins 10% of the jackpot, a $2 wager per draw ticket wins 20% of the jackpot, and so on. Any ticket with $10 wager per draw or higher will be eligible to receive 100% of the jackpot.
