New Jersey Lottery
The New Jersey Lottery is run by the U.S. state of New Jersey. Its In-house draw games are Pick-3, Pick-4, Jersey Cash 5, Pick-6, Quick Draw, and Cash Pop. Its multi-jurisdictional draw games are Cash4Life, Mega Millions, and Powerball. The Lottery also sells Fast Play and scratch-off tickets. The New Jersey Lottery is headquartered at One Lawrence Park Complex in Lawrence Township, Mercer County.
Pick-3 is a three-digit draw game drawn twice daily. It began on May 22, 1975, as a daily game and the nation’s first game where players can choose their own numbers and play type. Midday drawings were introduced in November 2001. It was originally known as Pick-it; the name changed to Pick-3 in 1987 to distinguish from the newer Pick-4 game.
The ways to win, in the order of payouts from highest to lowest, are:
Plays in pick 3 range from $0.50 to $5 and prizes range from $25 to $2,500 depending on the player’s choice of play type and wager amount for each game.
As of November 14, 2022, the New Jersey Lottery pays winners fixed prize amounts to players who have pick 3 tickets that match the winning numbers for the play type they choose. Prizes in pick 3 were awarded on a parimutuel basis prior to the November 14th, 2022 drawings.
Pick-4 is a four-digit draw game also drawn twice daily. It was introduced as a weekly game on July 9, 1977, became a daily game, and has been a twice-daily game since November 2001.
Price and play options for pick 4 are the same as the pick 3 game with prizes ranging from $25 to $25,000 depending on the player’s choice for play type and how much they will pay for the game. The prizes are paid on a fixed basis as of November 14, 2022. Prior to November 14, 2022, players won a prize that was awarded to them on a parimutuel basis.
On February 27, 2017, the Fireball feature was added to Pick-3 and Pick-4, replacing a play type that the NJ Lottery offered until February 19, 2017, called "So Close". This Fireball feature gives players an additional opportunity to create winning combinations. With Fireball, players can replace one of the Lottery drawn Pick-3 or Pick-4 winning numbers with the Fireball number drawn for more ways to win, for example, if a player placed a 3-6-8 Straight bet and the winning numbers were 2-6-8 and the Fireball number was 3, the player would swap out the first number 2 with the Fireball number to match the numbers 3-6-8 and win the Fireball prize. In addition, player matching the winning numbers for their play type and the fireball number is the same as one of their numbers and the player matches the winning fireball combinations win the base game and any fireball prizes for each fireball combination for that play type (for example if a player placed a 1-2-2-7 Straight bet with the fireball feature and the winning numbers were 1-2-2-7 and the fireball number was 2, they would win 3 times). Adding Fireball doubles the cost of the play and can be added to any pick 3 or pick 4 play type.
