New Jersey Lottery Pick 4 players have the opportunity to double their winnings in the upcoming “Red Ball” promotion running from Oct. 3 through Oct. 30.

New Jersey Lottery players will be able to follow the red ball and be real-time winners by viewing the live draw online at Facebook and the NJ Lottery website at www.NJLottery.net  . New Jersey Lottery is the first in the nation to live stream its winning numbers draws.

The “Red Ball” promotion is certain to increase prizes and here is how it works:

• Each night during the promotion, after the regular Pick 4 drawing, a subsequent drawing will be conducted from a separate machine that contains 6 white balls and 1 red ball.
• If the red ball is selected, ALL Pick 4 prizes (straight & box payouts) for that night's drawing will automatically be doubled.
• If a white ball is drawn, it will be removed, and the next night the draw will be from the remaining 5 white balls and 1 red ball. A white ball will be removed each night until the red ball is selected. Whenever the red ball is drawn, all seven balls are replaced for the next Pick 4 evening drawing.
• The lottery will match and fund a separate prize pool for this promotion.
• The red ball is guaranteed to be selected at least once every seven days during the promotional period!
