NJ Lottery officials announced that a Sussex County Lottery player on Saturday won the Jersey Cash 5 jackpot of $1,517,266. It is the game’s 30th jackpot won in 2025 and the sixth to top $1 million.
The ticket was purchased at Quick Chek #77, 180 Route 23 in Franklin, Lottery officials stated. The retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus for selling the winning prize.
According to NJ Lottery officials, the winning numbers were 04, 06, 18, 30, and 39. The XTRA was 03, and the Bullseye was 39.
In addition to the jackpot, 16 players matched four out of five balls, the Bullseye and the XTRA to win $1,000 each; 51 players matched four out of five balls and the Bullseye to win $500 each; six players matched four out of five balls and the XTRA to also win $500 each, Lottery officials said.
“I couldn’t remember the store I bought the winning ticket in,” said the winning player, who drove the roughly 100 miles first thing Monday morning from Sussex County to the Lottery office to claim the prize.
“I couldn’t sleep at all last night. I didn’t want that ticket lying around. I was afraid I’d lose it.”
