The New Jersey Lottery is run by the U.S. state of New Jersey. Its games include Mega Millions, Pick 3, Pick 4, Jersey Cash 5, and Pick-6. The lottery is headquartered in the One Lawrence Park Complex in Lawrence Township, Mercer County.[1][2]
Former games included Lotzee, and Lucky 7, which offered a higher prize potential than those offered in pick-3 and pick-4 games. (The Pick-6 game, until 2000, also drew a five-digit Bonus Million number.)
An agreement between Mega Millions and the Powerball group was reached in October 2009; no timetable has been established on when Powerball would be available in New Jersey. Powerball tickets would be available through the New Jersey Lottery as early as 2010.
New Jersey Lottery players must be at least 18 years old. The New Jersey Network (NJN) airs live televised drawings twice a day, seven days a week; midday at 12:57 PM ET and nightly at 7:56 PM ET. NJN also airs the twice weekly Mega Millions drawings at 10:59 PM every Tuesday and Friday night.
