A lucky lottery player in Middlesex County kicked off the new year with a massive win, scoring $1,997,829 in the Jersey Cash 5 drawing held on Saturday, January 10. It marked the first jackpot win of the year for the game.
The winning ticket matched all five numbers, which were 09, 12, 27, 31, and 32. The Bullseye number was 31, and the XTRA came up as 03—a combo that paid off big.
Here’s what made the drawing extra exciting:
-
? 72 players matched four numbers plus the Bullseye, each taking home $500
-
? 12 of those winners boosted their prizes to $1,500 by adding XTRA
-
? The winning ticket was sold at a convenience store in South River, which earned a $2,000 bonus for selling the jackpot ticket
