TRENTON, NJ – One perfect ticket turned Monday night’s Pick-6 Double Play drawing into a $250,000 score, matching all six numbers while the main New Jersey Lottery jackpot escaped players and climbed to $4 million.
The New Jersey Lottery said the winning Aug. 17 Double Play ticket was purchased through Lotto.com.
