They are not replacing it with another P4 game. It is being replaced by the new raffle, which doesn't make much sense to me.

I never saw a Pick-4 game done that way. Are they replacing it with a regular pick-4 game? I'd be very angry if nj dropped the 4 because I win prizes more often on the 4 (box). The STR should offer side prizes for getting some of the digits. When the Lottery changes a lot of things like that it messes up my algorithms.
