PISCATAWAY, NJ – If you live in Piscataway and played the Jersey Cash 5 lottery for Monday night’s drawing, you might want to double-check your tickets.
One lucky ticket worth $50,000 was sold at Quick Chek on River Road.
A green ball was drawn Monday night, meaning everyone who played got a second chance to win, even if their ticket was a losing one.
“Because the Green Ball was drawn, all players with tickets for last night’s drawing were given a free second chance as the Jersey Cash 5 machine was reset and numbers were drawn again for the Green Ball drawing,” the Lottery Commission said today.
In that second drawing, one winning ticket was announced, giving that winner a nice little bonus on the night.
That ticket matched all five numbers drawn winning the $50,000 Green Ball jackpot. The Green Ball numbers were: 02, 05, 06, 11 and 21. The XTRA number was 02. An additional 170 players had four out of five numbers for the Green Ball drawing, and won $280. Those tickets with the XTRA add-on won $560.
