Drawing

The Millionaire Raffle drawing will be held during the Pennsylvania Lottery's live drawing show on Jan. 3, 2009,
at 7 p.m.

How the Drawing Works

An Automated Drawing Machine (ADM) randomly selects all of the 6,000 winning raffle ticket numbers. The ADM selection of the four, $1 million top-prize raffle ticket numbers and the four, $100,000 second-prize raffle ticket numbers will be televised live. The 100, $1,000-winning raffle ticket numbers and the 5,892, $100-winning raffle ticket numbers also will be selected during the live drawing show, but these 5,992 winning ticket numbers will not be not televised due to time constraints.

An ADM is a highly secure computerized system that generates numbers in a random manner. ADMs have been used by lotteries for many years. The Pennsylvania Lottery first used an ADM for the "Hearts and Diamonds" game in the mid-1990s and has used random number generation over the years to facilitate many of its second-chance drawings.

The Lottery currently uses an ADM to randomly select the numbers for the mid-day drawings of The Daily Number, BIG 4 and Treasure Hunt terminal-based games. Other lotteries, both in the United States and internationally, also utilize ADMs for the random selection of winning numbers.

The ADM was certified by Gaming Laboratories International, the world's premier gaming products and systems testing company.

A Pennsylvania Lottery drawing official will operate the ADM by pressing a button that will activate the ADM to begin the winning ticket number selection process. Viewers will see the eight winning ticket numbers for the top two prize tiers displayed on the ADM monitor as they are selected at random. In addition, the winning ticket information will be printed in report form and properly recorded on certification forms by the on-site Certified Public Accountant.

A complete list of all 6,000 winning Millionaire Raffle numbers will be available on the Pennsylvania Lottery Results page at Lottery Post, as well as at local Lottery retail locations, the day after the raffle, on Jan. 4, 2009.

The eight-digit Raffle number printed on the ticket must match the eight-digit Raffle number combination selected in the drawing — with all eight digits in the exact sequence in which they were selected — to be considered a winning ticket and to be entitled to a Millionaire Raffle prize.

Claming a Prize

All prize levels are paid out in cash, including the jackpot. All 100 winning tickets of $1,000 and all 5,892 winning tickets of $100 can be validated and paid at any numbers games retailer. Players with winning tickets worth $100,000 and $1 million must file a claim for payment. Winning tickets may be redeemed up to one year after the drawing date, or until Jan. 3, 2010.

Guidelines For Participating in Office Pools

The New Jersey Lottery has issued a listing of common sense tips to follow should players venture into office pools.

Know your pool. Get the names and phone numbers of everyone involved in your pool, particularly the individuals who are in charge of purchasing the tickets and the person who will hold the tickets.
Know where and when your tickets are being purchased. Find out the name and address of the retailer that the ticket-buyer plans to visit as well as the approximate time of purchase.

Federal Tax Requirements for Lottery Prizes

The Energy Policy Act of 1992, section 1942, requires the New Jersey Lottery to withhold a minimum 25% of all prize payments to any Lottery winner who has won more than $5,000 on any Lottery wager. At the end of the year, the winner will receive a W2-G form to properly credit the withholding as a tax payment on their federal income tax form.

New Jersey residents who win a New Jersey Lottery prize are not required to pay any New Jersey state income tax on their winnings. Winners who do not possess a social security number are subject to a 30% federal income tax deduction on any prize over $599.50.
