New Jersey Lottery: Difference between revisions

On February 27, 2017, the Fireball feature was added to Pick-3 and Pick-4, replacing a play type that the NJ Lottery offered until February 19, 2017, called “So Close”. This Fireball feature gives players an additional opportunity to create winning combinations. With Fireball, players can replace one of the Lottery drawn Pick-3 or Pick-4 winning numbers with the Fireball number drawn for more ways to win, for example, if a player placed a 3-6-8 Straight bet and the winning numbers were 2-6-8 and the Fireball number was 3, the player would swap out the first number 2 with the Fireball number to match the numbers 3-6-8 and win the Fireball prize. In addition, if the player matchesmatching the winning numbers for their play type and the fireball number is the same as one of their numbers and the player matches the winning fireball combinations, he or she winswin the base game and any fireball prizes for each fireball combination for that play type (for example if a player placed a 1-2-2-7 Straight bet with the fireball feature and the winning numbers were 1-2-2-7 and the fireball number was 2, he/she would win 3 times). Adding Fireball doubles the cost of the play and can be added to any pick 3 or pick 4 play type.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.njlottery.com/content/portal/en/newsandevents/newsinput/2017/jcr:content/body/newsarchieve_86/file.res/NJL_02-22-17_Fireball-PR.pdf|title=FIREBALL Gives Players' Numbers More Firepower for the New Jersey Exclusive Pick-3 and Pick-4 Daily Games|date=February 22, 2017|website=NJ Lottery}}</ref>
