Your daily shot at big money in New Jersey

Are New Jersey residents looking for a daily chance to win big? Look no further than Jersey Cash 5. Here's how to play and potentially join the ranks of recent lucky winners.

Pick five numbers between 1 and 45. Don't miss your chance - drawings are held every night at around 10:57 PM EST. Remember, tickets must be purchased before 10:53 PM to be eligible for that day's drawing.
