Lucky Player Ends Pick 6’s Jackpot Drought

As the game’s name suggests, Pick 6 players need to pick six numbers for a shot at mouth-watering prizes. In this case, the player correctly guessed all of them, winning him the game’s top prize. According to lottery officials, the player opted to take the lump cash option of approximately $10 million.

For context, the winning numbers were 6, 7, 13, 15, 36 and 45.

The incredible prize reached this height after evading players’ attempts to win for some 63 drawings in a row. The previous jackpot was won in May and stood at $5.9 million.
