Lottery Player Hits It Big in Pick 6 Jackpot Game

Although this is one of the largest wins scored from the game in recent days, it’s hardly the most significantones. In 2025, the Pick 6 game produced at least four big-time winners.

The year began with a $32-million payout in Jackson on January 20, followed by jackpots that dropped in Clark and Roseland, $5.5 million and $5.9 million on March 20 and May 22, respectively. 

Another player in Hudson County used the Jackpocket app and scooped up a $22-million prize on October 25. After each win, the Pick 6 game jackpot resets to its original value of $2 million and starts growing again.

Contributions from every ticket are taken to grow the top prize over time. As to the most recent winner, he secured his jackpot off the winning numbers 7, 9, 10, 17, 25, and 30, matching all six balls.
