Pick-6 is New Jersey’s own long-running draw game and the Garden State’s homegrown answer to the multi-state giants. Every play costs $2: choose six numbers from 1 to 46, with drawings three nights a week and a jackpot starting at a guaranteed $2 million. The XTRA multiplier is included in the $2 price, so non-jackpot prizes can multiply up to 10X at no extra cost. With overall odds of 1 in 44.70, Pick-6 offers some of the friendliest prize odds of any $2 lottery game. Use our lottery number generator to build your six-number lines.

How to Play
Each $2.00 play lets you pick six numbers between 1 and 46, or ask for a Quick Pick. Before you buy, choose your jackpot payout: Cash Option (lump sum) or 30-year graduated Annuity — see our annuity vs lump sum guide if you’re torn. Play the same numbers for up to 30 consecutive drawings with Multi Draw. Tickets must be bought by 10:53 p.m. on drawing nights. XTRA multiplier (1X–10X on non-jackpot prizes) is included free. Double Play is an optional $1 add-on: a second drawing right after the main one with cash prizes up to a guaranteed $250,000.
