Single Ticket Claims $590K Jersey Cash 5 Jackpot

One ticket. One draw. A life-changing result. The Jersey Cash 5 jackpot found a new owner on Wednesday, April 8, when a single ticket matched all five numbers to claim the top prize of $590,007. The New Jersey Lottery confirmed the win the following day, though the lucky player has yet to come forward.

Burlington County Ticket Hits the Mark

The winning ticket was purchased at a 7-Eleven on Evesboro-Medford Road in Marlton, a township in Burlington County. That store now earns a $2,000 retailer bonus for selling the jackpot-winning slip, a standard reward the New Jersey Lottery gives to retailers whose tickets land top prizes.

The winning combination was 1, 18, 24, 28, and 35, along with Bullseye 24 and XTRA 02. Those numbers aligned perfectly with the draw, and so far, the ticket holder has not shown up to collect. Players in New Jersey have one year from the draw date to claim lottery prizes, so there is no immediate rush, but the clock is running.

The anonymity before claiming is common. Many jackpot winners take time to consult financial or legal advisors before presenting their ticket, especially when six-figure sums are involved. Others simply do not realise straight away that their numbers came in.

What Is Jersey Cash 5?

Jersey Cash 5 is one of the most popular daily lottery games in New Jersey. Players choose five numbers from 1 to 45, and a draw takes place every night. The jackpot starts at $100,000 and rolls over each night until someone matches all five numbers.

The game also includes add-on features. The Bullseye option adds a single bonus ball draw, giving players extra ways to win beyond the main five-number match. The XTRA multiplier, meanwhile, can boost non-jackpot prizes by up to five times. Both features cost extra but increase the overall prize potential on a given ticket.

Because the jackpot rolls over nightly rather than weekly, it can climb quickly after a dry spell, but it also resets often. That keeps the prize pool more modest than national games like Powerball or Mega Millions, but it also means winners are far more frequent. A $590,007 payout is a strong result for Jersey Cash 5 and sits well above the game’s typical jackpot range.

A Game on a Hot Streak

This win does not stand alone. Jersey Cash 5 has produced several notable payouts in recent months. Last month, the game awarded a massive $3.4 million to a single winner, one of the larger prizes in the game’s history. Before that, a player walked away with $1 million from the same game last year.

Three significant jackpots within a relatively short window speaks to the game’s consistent appeal. New Jersey residents play it daily, and the nightly draw structure means any ticket purchased on any given evening has a real shot at the top prize. That accessibility is a big part of why the game holds such a loyal base of players.

Still Waiting on a Winner

For now, the $590,007 Jersey Cash 5 jackpot sits unclaimed. Somewhere in Burlington County, a ticket worth nearly $600,000 is waiting to be cashed in. The winner may already know and simply be taking their time. They may not have checked yet.

Either way, the New Jersey Lottery will be waiting. Once the winner comes forward and the prize is processed, they will face a choice between a lump sum and an annuity option, both subject to state and federal tax. What lands in the bank will be less than the headline figure, but by any measure, a Wednesday evening in Marlton just changed someone’s financial picture significantly.
