New Jersey Pick-3 Sets All-Time Record With Over $2 Million in Prizes

The New Jersey Lottery's Pick-3 game had a record-breaking day on November 10, with players winning more than $2 million in total prizes across three drawings.

The excitement began with the midday Pick-3 numbers 7-3-3. During Tuesday night's drawing, the winning combination was 1-3-9, and the Green Ball triggered an additional second-chance drawing.

That bonus drawing produced 2-2-2, bringing an incredible $1.3 million in combined prizes from the evening drawings. According to the New Jersey Lottery, this was the largest payout ever recorded in a single Pick-3 drawing.

When the midday prizes were included, the game's total payout for the day crossed $2 million, setting an all-time single-day record since Pick-3 launched in 1975.

How the Green Ball Promotion Works

The New Jersey Lottery's Green Ball promotion runs from November 2 through November 29 and applies to evening Pick-3 drawings.

• When the Green Ball appears, an extra drawing takes place.

• Players get another opportunity to win prizes.

• The promotion is available during the evening drawings only.

NJ Lottery Executive Director James Carey congratulated the winners, saying the Green Ball promotion creates exciting opportunities for players. He also celebrated the winning 2-2-2 combination and the impressive payouts.

With more Green Ball drawings scheduled throughout November, Pick-3 players still have plenty of chances for excitement.
