The 1st machine/drawing 8826. 2. . . . . The second machine/drawing set of winning numbers was 8782 2

The Fireball number, 2, that was drawn during the first drawing was drawn from a separate machine and remains valid for Pick-3 and both Pick-4 drawings.

The MID and EVE pick-4 numbers on the nj lottery sight are

03/14/2024 EVE 8 8 2 6 2

03/14/2024 MID 7 6 2 7 7

On the Daily Numbers page, both evening draws are shown.

Glad NJ did the right thing and had another draw. I know it is quite a process weighing each ball and they have to be within so many nanograms of each other. Remember KY lottery had my question on this years ago and they showed how it was d... [ More ]
