New Jersey Lottery Daily lottery results – Tuesday, February 17, 2026

Tonight’s top headline is life-changing money: a Pick 6 jackpot listed at $2.9 Million. That’s the kind of number that turns a routine ticket check into a full-volume moment at the kitchen counter. Right behind it, Cash 5 is sitting at a listed $216,000—still serious cash, especially if you’re eyeing a quick cash lump sum option if you hit and choose it (where available under game rules).

Now here’s the critical fine print: Jackpot status: not confirmed in the feed. That means the data provided shows jackpot amounts and results, but does not explicitly state whether anyone matched all numbers. Always verify with the official New Jersey Lottery posting and follow the exact claim instructions before you celebrate in public.

Pick 6 winning numbers: 4-12-22-37-39-42. Listed jackpot: $2.9 Million. If you bought a lucky ticket, this is the moment you check it twice—then check it again under better lighting.

Pick 6 Double Play:

202129313234

Double Play adds its own twist, and tonight it showed a striking mid-to-upper concentration, including a tight pair of consecutive numbers (20-21) and another near-pair (31-32). That kind of pattern can feel “too neat” to players—but remember: the odds don’t care about aesthetics.

New Jersey Lottery Daily pattern watch – Cash 5 & Pick 6 (Feb 17, 2026)

If you’re hunting for signal in the noise, tonight’s results delivered a clear theme: wide ranges. Both Cash 5 and Pick 6 posted a range of 38, meaning the action stretched from low numbers all the way into the upper tier. That matters because wide-coverage draws can produce fewer “close but not quite” clusters—yet they may also line up with popular player habits (like mixing a couple low picks with a couple high picks), affecting how prize tiers split among winners.

The TrendPick AI Engine detected a notable “two-zone” distribution in Pick 6: an early trio (4, 12, 22) followed by a late trio (37, 39, 42). That late-stack includes a tight band in the high 30s/low 40s, including 37-39-42 with only small gaps. Translation: not consecutive, but definitely traveling as a pack.

Cash 5, meanwhile, was more evenly stair-stepped: 5, 8, 14, 27, 43. No consecutive numbers at all. The spacing gets progressively larger as it climbs—small gaps early, then bigger leaps—creating a “ladder with a launch” effect at the end. If you matched four and missed the 43, that last jump is the heartbreak number.

Low vs. high numbers, repeats, and what we can (and can’t) infer

Across the two main games, there’s no repeated number between Cash 5 and Pick 6 tonight—nothing like a shared 12 or 27 to make players gasp. That’s perfectly normal. And while pattern talk is fun, keep it grounded: lottery draws are independent events. A “hot” number doesn’t have a memory, and a “cold” number isn’t “due.” The smartest move is to understand your odds, pick a budget, and—if you’re playing pools—agree on the plan before the draw, not after.

If you’re wondering about payouts, remember that each game has multiple prize tiers. Some winners will be staring at a solid mid-tier hit; others may be looking at the top prize and asking about a cash lump sum versus annuity structure (where applicable). If you think you’ve got a winning ticket, sign the back, protect it, and follow New Jersey Lottery claim center rules.
