NJ Lottery officials announced that a New Jersey Lottery player’s Quick Draw ticket in Ocean County won $144,572 for 20% of the progressive jackpot on Tuesday, July 29.
The $2 ticket was played at Pick It Plus, 886 W Bay Ave, Suite 1, in Barnegat, lottery officials stated.
According to NJ Lottery officials, the current estimated Quick Draw Progressive jackpot stands at more than $579,000.
How does the Quick Draw Progressive Jackpot work?
This rolling jackpot is available to every single player at no additional cost, lottery officials said. A set of nine “Your Jackpot Numbers” (01-80) are randomly selected and printed at the bottom of every Quick Draw ticket.
NJ Lottery officials say 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, lottery officials stated.
NJ Lottery officials said that any ticket with $10 wager per draw or higher will be eligible to receive 100% of the jackpot.
