The upside to this situation is that you can wait it out until the jackpot climbs high enough to bother playing. $29.5 million is worth more than double the $1 ticket price (pre-tax), making this last drawing a strong investment (albeit with a huge amount of variance).

This is no different than MM/PB where sales are slow for weeks while the jackpot climbs slowly, then when the jackpot is large enough, sales increase because the game becomes worth playing ($40 million annuity for a $2 bet in a... [ More ]

Either people don't play that much, or the odds are too high. 10 months between wins is insane.

Bleudog101,

I'm pretty sure it's the same bridge, been there a long time.

I got the same sensations you did on that bridge every time I drove on the Pulaski Skyway.

Never paid any attention driving from Ft. Monmouth, NJ to Staten Island that it was Bayonne. (To buy lottery tickets) I remember the NY tickets being larger than a business card with same consistency of one and dot matrix printers.

If that's the same bridge that was there in the early 90's can remember it being very narrow and afraid to hit the car next lane over.

Good for the winner.

It's good to see Bayonne get mentioned, home of the Bayonne Bleeder, Chuck Wepner, the Real Rocky.

Stallone stole the story, changed the name, moved it to Philadelphia and made millions with somebody eles'e real life story.

There was also two brothers from Bayonne that wrestled and the ring announcer introduced them as Fro... [ More ]

Bleudog101, There is good luck in Atlantic City.

BRAC should have signaled to our enemies that we are no longer imperialists. President Trump may pull our forces out of Syria. That should tell Syria, Iran and the Russians our intentions.

The Crusaders had the good sense to leave the Middle East and return home.

Seems like every trip planned somebody wins the lottery where I was going to play...Atlantic City weekend after next.

Bayonne is where I picked up my truck when she returned from Deutschland. A world traveler she was, Japan to Virginia, Maryland to Germany and back again to Ft. Monmouth, NJ...the good old days before BRAC closed many military installations down. Something I will never agree to though I retired almost 22 years ago.

A 10-month drought without a Pick 6 New Jersey lottery winner ended Monday night when someone hit the $29.5 million jackpot.

Monday's winning numbers were 9, 12, 15, 18, 27, and 34. The XTRA number was 3.

The jackpot climbed through most of 2018 since a lucky player won a $9.6 million j... [ More ]
