New Jersey lottery questions

What lottery games can you play in New Jersey?
Mega Millions and Powerball, plus New Jersey Lottery's own games: Pick 3, Pick 4, Cash 5, Pick 6. We hold the full draw history for all of them.
Does New Jersey sell Power Play and Double Play?
Both. Each costs $1 a play on top of the $2 ticket, so a full New Jersey line is $4. We price Power Play at about 46 cents per dollar and Double Play at about 53 cents.
How much tax does New Jersey withhold from lottery winnings?
10.75% — prizes over $500,000; 5% between $10,000 and $500,000, held back before the cheque is written and on top of 24% federal withholding. Withholding is not the final bill. The calculator works out what you would actually keep.
Which New Jersey lottery game has the best odds?
Mega Millions, at 1 in 23.07 of winning something — though the prizes are correspondingly smaller, and winning often is not the same as winning much. A scratch-off is a different proposition again: the best on sale in New Jersey now returns about 79 cents on the dollar.
Where do these New Jersey numbers come from?
Straight from New Jersey Lottery's own published results, read every day, and the multi-state games are cross-checked against several official sources before we publish them.
