It's the first time anyone has matched all the winning numbers in more than 2 months
A lucky lottery player hit Thursday's $4.3 million Pick 6 jackpot. (New Jersey Lottery) For only the fourth time this year, a jackpot winning ticket has been sold for the twice-weekly Pick 6 lottery drawing.
It was purchased at Stop & Shop on Lacey Road in the Whiting section of Manchester, state lottery officials said Friday morning.
The prize $4.3 million, but if the winner chooses the cash option he or she will get $3,169,057 before taxes are deducted.
The winning numbers drawn Thursday evening were: 3, 7, 9, 25, 29, 39.
No one has hit the jackpot since a Clifton liquor store sold a $6.2 million ticket for the June 25 drawing. The Pick 6 was also won in back-to-back drawings in March.
The odds of a single ticket matching all six numbers for the state-wide game are 13,983,816 to 1.
