The board here runs eight prize levels, from break-even wins up to $500, and the money leans toward steady little hits. Games built like this hand out wins often, just rarely huge ones. That part doesn't change day to day — it's the piece of the game you actually get to choose. Everything above comes from the New Jersey Lottery's own published numbers — we just do the counting.
