New Jersey Pick-3 with FIREBALL: Live Results Today (Midday & Evening), Payouts & Play Styles

Welcome to the live winning numbers portal and official player resource for New Jersey Pick-3 with FIREBALL, the historic trailblazer of all American lottery daily numbers games. Launched by the New Jersey Lottery in May 1975 under the iconic name Pick-It, Pick-3 was the very first computerized, legal daily numbers game in United States history! Its sensational success revolutionized the state lottery industry nationwide, creating thousands of daily winners across the Garden State for over 50 continuous years. Pick-3 is drawn twice daily—Midday at 12:59 PM Eastern Time (ET) and Evening at 10:57 PM Eastern Time (ET), 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Ticket sales close at 12:53 PM ET for Midday and 10:53 PM ET for Evening drawings.

Pick-3 delivers a fixed top cash payout of $500 on a $1.00 Straight bet (or $250 on a $0.50 Straight bet) by correctly matching the 3 winning digits in exact sequence from 000 to 999. In addition to Straight bets, Pick-3 offers a diverse selection of wager styles, including Box (6-Way and 3-Way), Straight/Box (2-Way), Wheel, Front Pair, Back Pair, and Split Pair ($50 prize). Plus, players can add the popular FIREBALL feature! With FIREBALL, an extra ball (0-9) is drawn following every drawing, which can substitute for any of the lottery's winning digits to create multiple additional winning combinations!

With a base wager starting at just $0.50 or $1.00, Pick-3 is accessible to every player across more than 6,800 licensed retailers statewide and digitally via state-registered courier apps. The mathematical odds of winning a Straight wager are an approachable 1 in 1,000, while 6-Way Box bets boast winning odds of 1 in 167. Pair bets (Front, Back, and Split) provide great value with odds of 1 in 100 to win a guaranteed $50 payout on a $1 ticket. Multi-Draw allows dedicated players to enter their favorite three-digit sequences for up to 21 consecutive drawings on a single ticket slip.

Every dollar generated by Pick-3 directly supports the New Jersey Public Employee Pension System (Common Pension Fund L), helping fund retirement and disability pensions for teachers, police officers, firefighters, and state workers across all 21 NJ counties. Prizes up to $599.50 can be redeemed instantly in cash at any authorized New Jersey Lottery retail terminal. Under New Jersey law enacted in 2020 (P.L. 2019, c.390), winners of any prize amount can remain 100% permanently anonymous.
