TRENTON, NJ – The New Jersey Lottery’s Pick-4 game made history on Sunday night when the evening draw delivered the winning combination of 7, 7, 7, 7, resulting in a record-breaking $1,431,405 in total winnings.
The drawing saw 569 lucky players claim top prizes of $2,500 each, marking the largest single-draw payout in the game’s history. The unprecedented payout was made possible by a 2022 game change that set fixed prize amounts, allowing for higher payouts during unique combinations like Sunday’s all-7s.
Earlier in the day, the midday Pick-4 draw featured the numbers 1, 0, 9, 9, producing a total of $297,159 in prizes. Combined, Pick-4 players walked away with more than $1.7 million in winnings across the two Sunday draws.
Before the game change in November 2022, the payout for Sunday night’s top prizes would have been limited to around $650, highlighting the impact of the new structure. The record-breaking draw underscores the popularity and potential of the Pick-4 game, which continues to be a favorite among New Jersey Lottery players.
Since its launch in 1970, the New Jersey Lottery has contributed over $33.6 billion to the state and continues to set industry standards for responsible gaming practices.
