The Pick records highest jackpot money in a year

Jackpot money of The Pick, which is the jackpot game for Arizona, is slowly but surely climbing to enormous proportion.

At this stage, the amount has reached USD 6.3 million for the draw, which is to take place on Saturday night. This jackpot amount is the largest recorded, since the one that got drawn on March 2012.

Karen Bach, who is the director of the products, communications and budget for the Lottery of the Arizona State, said, “It is quite exciting to see that the jackpot of The Pick is rising high, since it is our state’s own jackpot. The best thing about the jackpot is that the winning ticket will only get sold in the state.”

Since it started rolling on November 4, 2012, The Pick has seen over 7.1 million prizes won in Arizona. Last week saw over 23,000 winners in the state.

Another good thing about The Pick is that it costs USD 1 for every ticket. Players are allowed to choose 6 numbers and between 1 – 41. If players can have a matching of minimum of three numbers, they can win a prize. Ticket sales do stop at around 9:30 PM on the night when the draw takes place.
