NJ Pick 3 Rules
NJ Pick-3 rules are actually quite simple; you only need to:
- Pick 3 numbers from 0 to 9.
Then, select your bet type. You have the choice between:
- Straight: Match the same numbers as the winning ones & in the same order.
- Box: Match all the winning numbers, but they can be in any order.
- Straight/ Box (Combo): This is a combination of both straight and box play types. You need to guess all numbers to win either way, but win both prizes if all the numbers match in the right order.

New Jersey Pick-3 Prizes & Odds
NJ Pick 3 is quite different from the Powerball lottery. Your chances of winning an NJ Pick-3 prize vary based on the bet type you choose and the amount you bet.
For instance, Pair bets offer odds of about 1 in 33, so a $1 winning bet could net you $18. On the other hand, Straight bets are harder to win due to higher odds, but they also promise larger payouts. A $1 Straight bet that wins could bring you a $500 reward!
Here is a detailed explanation of each bet type’s odds:
