$17.3M Lottery Ticket Sold At Maplewood 7-Eleven

MAPLEWOOD, NJ — Somebody's Monday ended in a very lucky way this week, as the New Jersey Lottery drew the six numbers on their lottery ticket — purchased at the Maplewood 7-Eleven — on Monday night.

Thanks to the Double Play drawing, the winner of the Pick-6 ticket will now claim a $17.3 million annuity jackpot.

That's enough to buy 4.8 million Mega Slurpees at $3.60 a pop — well, before taxes.

The winning ticket was sold at the 7-Eleven store 36089 at 490 Valley St. in Maplewood. The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The winning numbers for the Monday, July 11, drawing were: 06, 07, 12, 14, 34 and 45.

The jackpot will reset to $2 million for the next drawing that will be held this Thursday.

Pick-6 was updated in April of this year, the NJ Lottery noted. It now offers better odds with a decrease in the matrix from the previous 1-49 pool of numbers to 1-46.

The price of the new Pick-6 base game increased to $2 per play. For an extra $1, the add-on feature Double Play gives players the chance to win up to $250,000, and other prizes, in an additional drawing held immediately after the regular Pick 6 drawing using the same numbers and multiplier.

In addition to the jackpot winner, the drawing produced seven winners matching five out of the six white balls drawn Four took home $4,576 each. The other three winners had the 2X multiplier making their tickets each worth $9,152.

An additional 10,704 players took home $95,442 in prizes. The multiplier is randomly computer generated for each ticket at the time of purchase and is included in the base price of a wager.
