TRENTON (May 11, 2018)—Acting Lottery Executive Director John M. White today announced that the midday drawings for the New Jersey Lottery’s Pick 3 and Pick 4 games will no longer be televised, starting with the midday drawing tomorrow, May 12, 2018.
“Since we have determined that more and more of our players are watching drawings on our New Jersey Lottery website and Facebook Page, using Livestream, the Lottery has discontinued using its television airtime for the midday drawings and will, instead, replace the televised midday draws with other Lottery messages, including planned Responsible Gaming public service announcements,” said White.
The live evening drawings will continue to be streamed online and televised on PIX11 and PHL17. All drawings will continue to take place under the supervision of an independent third-party auditor.
Viewers can still tune in to PIX11 and PHL17 at the typical midday drawing broadcast time slot of approximately 1 PM and see a summary of the results of that day’s midday drawing.
“As we go forward, the Lottery is looking forward to engaging all of our players with our website, including those who have been watching the midday draws on television,” White continued.
