TRENTON, NJ — New Jersey Lottery players are eyeing massive prizes this weekend, with jackpots across several draw games reaching notable highs, including a $453 million Mega Millions prize and a growing Powerball jackpot of $171 million.

The Mega Millions jackpot, set for its next drawing on Friday night, is nearing the half-billion-dollar mark, while the Powerball prize continues to rise after a New Jersey player recently won $150,000 in a near miss earlier this week.

The Pick-6 jackpot has also steadily grown to $20.6 million, with the next chance to win coming on Tuesday at 10:57 p.m. Meanwhile, the Jersey Cash 5 jackpot has surged to $668,000, and Quick Draw’s progressive prize has topped $220,000, offering players a fast-paced shot at big winnings every four minutes.

Beyond the jackpots, Quick Draw players can enter an additional contest for a chance to win a trip to the Super Bowl, adding excitement to one of the Lottery’s most dynamic games.

Winning numbers for all New Jersey Lottery draw games can be found on the official NJ Lottery website, while Powerball and Mega Millions drawings are broadcast on WABC-TV and WTXF stations.

The weekend’s lineup of growing jackpots promises life-changing opportunities for lucky New Jersey players.
