The Bullseye option, which costs an extra $1, gives players an additional chance to win by targeting a single bonus number. Combined with the XTRA multiplier, it can significantly increase winnings in non-jackpot prize tiers.
Lottery officials have not disclosed the identity of the latest winner, who has one year from the draw date to claim the prize. Winners are encouraged to sign the back of their tickets immediately and contact the New Jersey Lottery for claim instructions.
This latest win highlights a recent streak of large payouts in the Jersey Cash 5 game, which has gained momentum in recent weeks with multiple top prizes awarded.
