MIDDLESEX, NJ – Two lucky New Jersey Lottery players from Hudson and Middlesex counties each claimed a $75,000 share of a $150,000 Jersey Cash 5 jackpot from Wednesday’s drawing, marking the second jackpot win in just two days.
The winning numbers for the May 7 drawing were 03, 09, 19, 24, and 36. The XTRA was 04 and the Bullseye number was 19. Both winners matched all five numbers, splitting the full jackpot evenly.
The winning tickets were sold at Prime Time Convenience, located at 305 Willow Ave. in Hoboken, and Raceway, located at 2715 Route 1 South in North Brunswick. Each retailer will receive a $2,000 bonus for selling the winning tickets.
This marks the 22nd Jersey Cash 5 jackpot awarded so far this year and comes just one day after another player won a $240,150 prize in a separate drawing.
In addition to the top winners, two other players matched four numbers plus the Bullseye and XTRA to win $1,500 each. Fifteen more players matched four numbers and the Bullseye, each winning $500.
