“Pick-6 jackpots are always exciting for us, and it is rare to see two jackpot-winning tickets sold at the same store. This could be one lucky player that decided to double down on their ticket or two separate players with shared luck at the same store,” NJ Lottery Executive Director James Carey said in a written statement.

The record NJ Lottery Pick-6 jackpot of $48.9 million was won Clifton in 2002.

Odds of matching all six numbers in the Pick-6 and winning the jackpot are 1 in 9,366,819, per $2 ticket.
