Two New Jersey lottery players won a record-high $3.8 million Jersey Cash 5 jackpot on Tuesday, Oct. 7. It’s the 52nd time the lottery game has been won in 2025.
The New Jersey Lottery announced that the tickets sold in Camden and Monmouth counties matched the five numbers to split the $3.8 million, the highest Jersey Cash 5 prize ever. Each ticket is worth $1,908,863.
The winning tickets were sold at Liquor Mart on East Browning Road in Bellmawr and at a 7-Eleven on Pine Brook Road in Tinton Falls. Each retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus for selling the winning tickets.
The Jersey Cash 5 jackpot had not been won since Sept. 21, which ended a streak of three straight days the jackpot had been won.
“This was a fun run,” New Jersey Lottery Executive Director James Carey said. “We are used to seeing a jackpot hit at least once weekly. It was incredible to see it grow over these last two weeks.”
In addition to the jackpot-winning tickets, 26 tickets won $1,000 in Tuesday’s drawing.
The Jersey Cash 5 winning numbers for Oct. 7 were: 03-05-14-18-30. The XTRA was 03 and Bullseye: 30.
The New Jersey Lottery estimates the next Jersey Cash 5 jackpot at $150,000 for the Oct. 8 drawing.
Jersey Cash 5 is a daily lottery draw game from the New Jersey Lottery. Players pick five numbers between 1 and 45 and can add the Xtra for a chance to increase non-jackpot prizes by up to five times. The Bullseye gives players another chance to win. Drawings are held seven days a week at 10:57 p.m.
