New Jersey Lottery Pick-3 sets single-day payout record with more than $2 million in prizes
NEW JERSEY — New Jersey Lottery Pick-3 players won more than $2 million in prizes Tuesday, Nov. 10, setting a new single-day payout record after the Green Ball drawing produced the winning numbers 2-2-2.
According to the New Jersey Lottery, the Green Ball was selected following Tuesday evening’s Pick-3 drawing, triggering an additional drawing that resulted in the triple-digit combination.
The 2-2-2 result generated more than $1.3 million in additional prizes, the largest amount awarded in a single Pick-3 drawing in the game’s history, lottery officials said.
Combined winnings from the midday, evening and Green Ball drawings exceeded $2 million, establishing a new single-day prize payout record for Pick-3.
Tuesday’s midday drawing produced the numbers 7-3-3 with Fireball 5, while the evening drawing resulted in 1-3-9 with Fireball 7.
The Green Ball promotion gives Pick-3 players an additional opportunity to win when a green ball is selected following the regular evening drawing.
A straight Pick-3 wager of 50 cents pays $250 when the player’s three selected numbers match the winning numbers in exact order.
“Green Ball delivers great opportunities and excitement to our players, and we are thrilled that our Pick-3 players found luck in 2-2-2. Congratulations to all the winners on their big payouts,” said Executive Director James Carey. “We encourage all players to keep playing and trying their luck with this exciting game.”
The New Jersey Lottery said the Green Ball promotion will continue for Pick-3 through Nov. 29.
