The New Jersey State Lottery: Jersey Cash 5
Jersey Cash 5 is a daily game that draws five balls numbered from 1 through 40, games cost $1 each. The top prize is a jackpot that grows until there is a wager where all five numbers are matched.
Jersey Cash 5 began in 1992 as a pick-5-of-38 game. Players won a pari-mutuel prize by matching at least three numbers. The original version of Jersey Cash 5 did not have a rolling jackpot; instead, if no set of five numbers was a perfect match, the first-prize pool was added to second prize winners (those who matched four numbers.) In September 2003, two numbers were added to make Jersey Cash 5 a pick-5-of-40 game, and the top prize level was changed to a progressive jackpot.
