Someone's having a fantastic week! A lucky New Jersey Lottery player just won $80,950 playing Quick Draw Progressive. That's 20% of the current jackpot.
The winning ticket was purchased at Boulevard Bar & Grill on Mola Blvd. in Elmwood Park, Bergen County. This is the second big win for Quick Draw Progressive since it launched in March. The first jackpot win was $15,686.
How does Quick Draw Progressive work?
Every Quick Draw Progressive ticket has a set of nine Your Jackpot Numbers printed on the bottom. These numbers are randomly chosen. Here is the exciting part: If all nine of your numbers match the numbers drawn in any Quick Draw drawing your ticket is in, you win a portion of the Progressive Jackpot.
The more you wager per draw, the bigger the portion of the jackpot you can win. A $1 wager wins 10%, while a $10 wager wins the whole thing.
Quick Draw Progressive: Big wins, fast games
With drawings every four minutes, Quick Draw Progressive gives you many chances to win throughout the day. Plus, you can win up to $100,000 with just a $1 play.
Want to boost your odds? Try these add-ons:

- Multiplier: This can multiply your base game prize by up to 10X!
Feeling overwhelmed with all the choices? No problem! Ask your retailer for an E-Z Play. This lets the Lottery computer pick your numbers for you. You can choose a $1, $5, or $10 E-Z Play option.
