$250K winning Pick-6 Double Play ticket sold in Monmouth County

TRENTON, NJ — A lucky New Jersey lottery player is holding a $250,000 winning Pick-6 Double Play ticket after matching all six numbers in the Double Play drawing held Thursday, August 21. The top-prize ticket was sold in Wall Township, Monmouth County.

According to the New Jersey Lottery, the winning ticket was purchased at Acme #780, located at 2007 Route 35. The ticket matched all six Double Play numbers: 02, 10, 17, 20, 43, and 45. The standard Pick-6 numbers drawn that same night were 06, 08, 14, 17, 23, and 45, but no player hit the main jackpot.

The jackpot for the next Pick-6 drawing on Saturday, August 23, now climbs to an estimated $10.2 million.

Double Play is an optional add-on feature that players can purchase for an additional $1, giving them another chance to win with the same numbers for a top prize of $250,000 in a separate drawing.

The winner of the $250,000 prize has not yet come forward. Prizes must be claimed within one year from the draw date.
