A record jackpot. Two lucky tickets. One unforgettable night for New Jersey Lottery players. After nearly two weeks without a winner, the Jersey Cash 5 jackpot had reached its highest point in the game's history, drawing eager players from every corner of the state.

Then, in Tuesday night's drawing, lightning struck twice. This historic run ended with a shared victory that will have two Garden State players celebrating in a big way.

Record-breaking jackpot win

As we reported yesterday, the Jersey Cash 5 jackpot had climbed to a record high for the in-state draw game from the New Jersey Lottery. Well, the drawing took place last night, and it looks like two lucky ticket holders will split the record-breaking jackpot.

For the Tuesday, October 7, 2025, drawing, the winning numbers were 3, 5, 14, 18, and 30. The Bullseye number was 30, and the XTRA number was 3.

No one had matched all five of the winning numbers for the daily drawing since September 21. This pushed the top prize for the in-state draw game to $3.82 million. That means each winning ticket will get $1.91 million.

This has been the 52nd jackpot win of 2025 for Jersey Cash 5. players. Ten of those jackpot wins have exceeded $1 million.

Now that the jackpot has been won, it resets to $150,000 for tonight's drawing.

Where were the winning tickets sold?

If you are in Monmouth County or Camden County, then you may want to pay attention.

One of the winning tickets was purchased at 7-Eleven, located at 1128 Pinebrook Road in Tinton Falls. The other ticket was purchased at Liquor Mart, located at 332 E. Browning Road in Bellmawr.

Other five-ball draw game wins

In South Carolina, they had a jackpot winner last night for their Palmetto Cash 5 draw game, which had a jackpot worth $140,000. The winning numbers for last night's drawing were 7, 14, 28, 31, and 32. The winning ticket was purchased at Food Lion #1580, located at 851 Heckle Blvd. in Rock Hill.

This jackpot win happened to be the 30th jackpot win of 2025 for Palmetto Cash 5 players. The odds of winning the Palmetto Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 850,668.

Georgia Lottery players recently had reason to celebrate after a big jackpot win for their Fantasy 5 in-state draw game. The jackpot climbed to $2.01 million before three lucky ticket holders matched all of the winning numbers drawn for the Monday, October 6, drawing to split the jackpot.

For winning, each ticket holder received $669,732. The winning tickets were sold at:

  • Rebels Pantry, located at 4500 Appalachian Highway in Blue Ridge.
  • Marathon Food Mart, located at 101 Lukken Industrial Drive W. in LaGrange.
  • Publix, located at 920 Highway 81 E. in McDonough.

In Georgia and South Carolina, players have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize. In New Jersey, players have one year from the date of the drawing to claim their prize.
