After more than five months without a jackpot winning ticket being sold, a user of the Jackpocket lottery app won Thursday night’s Pick 6 drawing.
Thursday’s winning numbers were 4, 28, 31, 37, 41 and 43, the New Jersey Lottery said.
The lucky winner purchased the $ 1 ticket through the app.
Jackpocket is the first messaging service regulated in the state under a 2016 law that authorized third-party companies to register to sell lottery tickets online. Jackpocket has been operating in New Jersey since December 2019.
Before Thursday, no one had matched all six numbers since buying a $ 9.2 million ticket for the May 17 drawing at a Piscataway store. Those are the only two Pick 6 jackpots to be won this year in New Jersey.
The jackpot for the upcoming twice-weekly drawing on Monday goes back to $ 2 million.
The odds of a $ 1 ticket matching all six numbers are 13,983,816 to 1.
