NJ Lottery I played Pick 3 str/box with fireball for evening NEWARK New Jersey
I played 2 sets of numbers for pick 3 str/box for evening on Aug 18, 2018. The winning number was 418. I played 831. If box is for any order but the same numbers with the fireball. I went to cash the ticket thinking I won but was told it wasnt a winner. I also rechecked with the NJ Lottery ticket scanner. Indeed it said this is not a winning ticket. This is fraud and false advertising saying box counts in any way combination but clearly is a lie. I have to try contacting someone at NJ Lottery tomorrow to voice my complaint.

To the person who posted about fireball I would love to hear from you. The fireball game is highly deceptive. I have played and "won" on numerous occasions only to be told sorry you are not a winner. After doing my homework and watching the nj lottery fireball video and saving it just in case I decided this was just another scam to get us to bite at a to good to be true game. I have since been contacted by 323 others who have also felt deceived by nj lottery. I am moving forward to pursue a class action lawsuit to expose their misleading claims. Contact me if interested. I am working very hard to stop their deceptive practices. I had no idea how many people had gone through the same thing until I posted a story and now its becoming. A dire need for me to move forward. Power in numbers as long as there is no fire

What is the fireball number?

From what I looked at their rules -- https://njs-cdn.lotteryservices.com/content/dam/portal/pdfs/drawgames/PICK-3_PICK-4_FIREBALL_ODDSandPRIZES_INFO.pdf -- you must first know what the fireball number is. Then use the number to replace in one of the 3-number you have.
In this case, you said that the winning number is 418 and you picked 831. Is the fireball number 3? If it is, then you should be a winner. However, if it is not, then you are not a winner according to their rules.
