Jersey Cash 5 — how does it work?

Jersey Cash 5 is a daily draw game with drawings held every night at 10:57 p.m. ET.

Each Jersey Cash 5 play costs $1. Players will pick five numbers between 1 and 45. You can also choose the Quick Pick option, where the Lottery computer will randomly select your numbers for you.

Jersey Cash 5 players can also choose the XTRA option, which costs an additional $1 per play per draw. The XTRA option increases non-jackpot Jersey Cash 5 prizes. If you match three or more of the Jersey Cash 5 numbers drawn, your Jersey Cash 5 prize, excluding the jackpot, will be multiplied by the XTRA Multiplier. You can also win $2 by only matching two numbers with the XTRA option.

Players can also add the Instant Match option for $1 extra per play. With Instant Match, players have the chance to win up to $500 instantly. You can also choose the Multi Draw option, which allows players to play the same numbers for up to 21 consecutive drawings.

The Jersey Cash 5 jackpot starts at $100,000 and rolls over until someone wins it.
